If you don't fully understand screening or the culture, dealing with the wrong people will lead to mass turnover.

In each market I operate in I have someone available for showings this person is usually my runner who is responsible for quality control and restocking inventory but I've also used a cleaner for this.

@Vivan Bhalla how well did you screen the PMC?

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.

IE at the time if you built on all the hundreds of thousands of lots there you would have perpetual grid lock not to mention water quality etc etc.

They understand that there's value in what they provide, which is steady, documented income, minimal turnover, steady payment, quality references, no drama, and peace of mind.

Print them off, study them, highlight them, make notes, read some blog posts, and understand the subject.The second document he links includes precise definitions and a guide for landlords to use for screening support animals.

Hey Joe, I am a realtor and property manager in West Virginia (Bridgeport, Fairmont, and Morgantown area) We use an animal screening service called petcreening ( I will add a link to their page below.

If an operator is not responding to you adequately - in timing or quality - prior to you wiring them $50,000, you have to ask yourself how will they respond after they already have your money? 

hey tim, i should have been more clear. i will be doing all of the property management per se, just looking for an organizational tool via an app or software that will consolidate the communication for my duties. i only have one out of state property and just dont think the amount paid is worth the relatively low stress of this specific quality property and tenant pool. i will look into stessa and buildium- thank you for the recs!
