Property Manager: Custom instruction for acceptance of payments?

[Gary Dezoysa]

Hi, I'd like to establish an auto-bill for rent payments on the tenant's paycheck paydate. The first month he may pay a pro-rated amount. My question is about dealing with property managers. Are they generally open to client/owner stipulations like this? The PM would help the client setup the auto-billing. If PMs are not flexible in this regard, can I tell them I'd like to handle the tenant onboarding over the phone, and have the PM handle the other aspects as usual (including showings)?
