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?

One of my major screening criteria is you must have the deposit and first month's rent plus pet deposit within 48 hours of acceptance. 

I like it that FTF know their flippers since they screened them and follow them.

Hi all, If you use Avail currently or in the past, could you please provide feedback as I'm thinking about using them for tenant screening, lease agreements and rent collection.  

In the past I have used a property manager but thinking of doing this myself.I was wondering if any other small landlords do anything to hide their real name and/or real address/phone number from tenants during the screening and leasing process.  

They can help you see where you missed the mark and that will help you screen deals to find the right ones.It sounds like you have skills that can work to support a JV deal. 

Have a very tight screening process, like we do, and it will be difficult for these professional tenants to get in.

First, the best thing you can do is improve your screening process.

Don't walk across broken glass in your bare feet, it's like buying subject to and being under funded.3.

I can pretty easily find good tenants and screen them myself.
