Panicking Part 2

Update: I've been screening prospective tenants like crazy! No one has met the requirements.  Last week i added Section 8 as an option.  Wow, these people are spoiled.  They are looking for single homes.  I guess Sec. 8 became very generous :)  So, I started looking for PM companies.  The 2 that responded want a month's rent to place the tenant then 10% monthly for management (such as checking on tenant--WHAT??)...One company states on it's website that to place a tenant they charge $250.  I wonder what the catch is.  None have a stipulation that the tenant has to stay for 12 months.  I responded and asked for a custom agreement because i live downstairs and can collect the rent myself and possibly handle maintenance ;)...did not hear back! Ugh
