#256: David Pickron: The Private Investigator’s Guide to Smarter Landlording

In this episode of REIA Radio, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with David Pickron—real estate investor, licensed private investigator, and CEO of Rent Perfect—to talk about the side of real estate most landlords don’t like to discuss: evictions, screening tenants, and the tough lessons that come with managing rentals.

David shares his journey from serving eviction notices in college to building one of the nation’s top investigative screening companies. He reveals what most landlords get wrong about background checks, how to legally and fairly screen applicants, and why your rental criteria might be the most powerful document in your business.

This episode is equal parts education, tough love, and humor—packed with strategies to help every landlord level up their game and protect their portfolio.

🎧 Listen now on your favorite platform and learn how to screen smarter, invest wiser, and build lasting tenant relationships.
