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?

But once your property is ready to be listed, find a good property management software that has all the features you need - Listing Syndication, Tenant Screening, Lease Signing, Rent Collection, etc; and you should be able to have a much better work-life balance.

I screened Tenant B per usual, although they have the least rental history of anyone I've rented to and are getting a bit of the benefit of the doubt based on Tenant A having been good (plus they have a guarantor, the mother of both tenants).Tenant A is moving out half a month before their year-long lease ends.

And those dues are really financially expensive and even more expensive in terms of blood, sweat, tears, toil AND TIME.You want a head start over the unwashed and a short cut to success (which is really what most people want)?

The key is understanding how to properly screen and also how to manage.

Today I got a bill that is 100% more than what I used to pay - my blood was rushing- They increased my building coverage- They changed from "cash value" to "replacement value"These 2 updates that they made cost my portfolio to go double.

@Farnaz Z. what does your management contract state about applicant screening?

Agree with Chris above- however, it sounds like you need to button up your screening criteria and processes.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen, and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.

Once in awhile, some internal person makes a mistake and there is a slight delay.The bigger problem is screening S8 tenants to get one that pays THEIR part of the rent on time and takes decent care of the property.We just had eviction court today with a tenant not paying their rent portion AND deliberately causing damages, so their home failed the S8 inspection.
