Do you screen them first, or get to an agreement, let them view the property in person, etc?

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?

@Benjamin Hill We use Smartmove and I definitely recommend their tenant screening.

I've heard of:1) Flat % returns for each month2) Equity in the deal in case investor can't cover monthly payments to investor3) Lump sum return after project completion based on agreed % of money lentAnyone have some thoughts here?

You want a service that provides a full credit report, full criminal, identity verification, etc.Then it would help if you had clear screening criteria.

Quality windows and solar window screens.

They’ll handle everything from tenant screening to maintenance, allowing you to stay focused on your practice.

@Solen KebedeTo manage a house-sharing property effectively, establish clear communication channels with tenants, automate rent collection, create a solid lease agreement, have a local support system, screen tenants thoroughly, use remote management technology, plan for vacancies, consider professional management, and prepare for your move.

But, It’s truly is one of the three reasons I use a PM for the rest  1) I don’t want to screen, I don’t really like meeting new people.2) I want to stay legal in my screening, notices, demands, etc etc3) They raise rents more and faster than I would and collect more in late fees.They literally pay for themselves with increased rent/fees and I get the legal and people screening for free. 

You need a form of a click-funnel for frictionless conversion and handoff from the mailer, to then pre-screen and develop that contact into an actual lead.
