Do they have preferred vendors that always answer the phone because it is that PM calling?

Aloha,Keep in mind, NO credit is usually far better than BAD credit...and credit is only one element of your screening criteria.

But I just log in through safari on my phone. 

Part of the premise of hiring a manager is that they will manage repairs, including efficiency of repairs.Anyone can pick up a phone and throw unlimited amounts of money at a vague reported problem.

I wish the answer was you just screen them out but some of them are quite adept at hiding it.

@Vivan Bhalla how well did you screen the PMC?

I always tell my clients to put a reminder on their phone to go off monthly to ensure they pay off all debts like this that can cause them to have higher credit scores. 

Most importantly you can refine your phone technique at a low cost.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.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?

The inefficiency of this system makes it risky to rent to tenants without stringent screening processes.Consequently, I have had to adopt extremely strict criteria when selecting tenants.
