You will also want to develop a tenant screening process that includes credit checks, background checks, employment verification, and references from previous landlords.

My goal is to find a mentor and be around great people that are like minded people.Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen, and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.

Screening and hiring a property manager?

It handles all my maintenance tickets, communication with tenants, rental payments, screening, receipt tracking, listing etc (I haven’t used the listing service yet but they offer it for free).

Hi, I'm screening tenants for a single family home and the husband has no credit history but makes the bulk of the income.

This is my current process: 1) screen for price range/target neighborhoods, 2) Calculate rent/value to identify properties at or close to 1% rule, 3) review photos/other info to ballpark estimate post-purchase capex followed by a more detailed deal analysis, 4) request contractor inspect the property to get true capex estimate, 5) make offer if the numbers work.However, since Febrary I've only gotten to #4 once and never to #5.

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?

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

Screen my tenants very strictly and rent in premium locations so that works best for me.

Hello - is anyone else facing the issue of being unable to retrieve the tenant screen report?
