Do I get a say in tenant selection if going through PM?
I am in the "rehab" stage of my first BRRRR project. I have a full time W2 job with varied work schedule, so I will be going through a property manager to help place tenants and handle all other usual PM type duties. In my W2, I am very familiar with looking at credit reports, and underwriting loans. My question is, when it comes to tenant selection, does anyone ask the PM for the ability to examine the candidates and have an opinion based purely on things like rent to income, overall DTI, job time, job stability (W2 vs. 1099/self-employed)? I would like to be able to have some sort of input on who will be living in the SFR, but don't want to open myself up to possibly violating the rights of a protected class. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
