Any rational landlord will double or triple their screening efforts because nobody wants to accidentally put a deadbeat in their property. 

It’s hard to find good help, so I am hoping to screen better next time.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I am a co-host in Dallas and Waco, TX and I have an idea of what types of owners and properties I want in my co-host portfolio----and with each client/property I learn which qualities are working for my business setup or what qualities I need to be working on to upskill.

For a Bay Area rental with a stackable washer and dryer, should I invest in a high-quality model or opt for another one priced at $1,300?

When it comes to tenant screening, you're right that using a separate tool can often provide more thorough checks.

You can let applicants know they’ve passed the screening and move forward with showing them the property, making it clear that the lease is only finalized after the viewing.
