@Jack Lindstrom I think comprehensive screening will get you where you need to go with non-Section 8 housing.

The evictee will be in there giving great advice if anything doesn't work out...It's important that you document what you screening criteria are (a policy) and stick to it. 

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?

The point of screening an applicant is to determine the level of risk to your property, your income, and others.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

I would say this is a valid request if they are using this as income to meet your rental screening qualifications.

Too rich for my blood, but thanks anyway.

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.

Inheriting a tenant can be a blessing or a nightmare so doing the same screening you would for a new move-in would help.

I know the process of touring houses, getting home inspection, researching market rents, looking for tenants, screening tenants, etc takes up a lot of time.
