Absolutely.
I use mysmartmove.com for criminal check/credit check, and then I call previous landlords, employer, (and could potentiall call references listed on application, though I haven't yet), etc.
It's slightly cheaper if you use biggerpockets.mysmartmove.com because of a partnership they have, but I don't know what information they share with bigger pockets.
There are a few other sites, but that's the one I'm using currently.
