Owners have options to use their preferred contractors or OneRent's contractors (handyman charges $65/hour).They screen tenants as 2.5x income/rent, and do 6 months walk through check.It sounds a professional management way. 

Most areas that aren't A or B neighborhoods do not support new construction without some outside subsidy funding. just look at south side chicago were you can buy an exist 2 flat for what 100k that will need work so maybe 250k all in those properties even with the lot for free would cost double that to build today.. if not more..

It might be simply forfeiting the deposit assuming no damage to the unit or a flat fee payment in addition to the deposit.

The property includes a screened-in patio and an underground pool.

That screen shot is from Hospitable (that’s the PMS I use). $30,441.38 - Thats the “Gross” earnings and includes all taxes (local, city etc) and cleaning fees (if any) and pet fees (if any) etc etc. 

His Screening parameters were not as restrictive. do you need to adjust your screening parameters?

Some minor damages along the way (like a door screen punched out).We have a fenced yard. 

A good PMC screens for and attracts the right tenants, for a much lower price. 

Wanna be gurus, usually salespeople with little real estate investing experience, “audition” with the seminar companies akin to a screen test” in Hollywood.  

Is it bad property management/screening?
