I recommend you search for "tenant application screening" to find a few different options and see which one will work best for you.Here's some generic screening advice.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

Upfront Costs Readiness✅ Budget for repairs, upgrades, tenant screening, and marketing before listing.✅ Set aside funds for legal or professional fees if needed.4.

Same for 2-years of job/income stability.Tenant Default: 10-20% probability of eviction or early lease termination.Section 8: Class C rents usually meet program requirements, proper screening still recommended.Vacancies: 10-20%, depending on market conditions and tenant screening.Cashflow vs Appreciation: Should cashflow immediately, at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.Class D Properties:Tenant Pool: Majority of FICO scores under 560, little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, but should have no convictions/evictions in last 12 months.

When I listed concerns of flagrant lease violations, gone unchecked (derelict vehicles, unregistered large breed dogs who are not picked up after, garbage scattered out in the yard, piles of debris; old tires, tv, kitchen sink, broken wheel barrow, all sitting out in plain sight for a month or more), wash machine drain hose running out a window and draining into the lawn.

@Joe Frank I’m a huge fan of Turbo Tenant to market properties, manage leads, screen tenants and lease up.

Tell the PMC to screen *thoroughly* for quality tenants even if it takes a bit of 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?

And of course have a high criteria to screen tenants.
