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.

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

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

The highest values are going to be found in having these units all broken up so they can sell individually - exit plan.

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

I'm not really sure how to properly screen tenants either.

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.

These were poor, blue collar working people (my grandfather spoke broken English) that never made any significant money but worked hard, didn't piss away money on stupid stuff, and ended up with a nice little home that they paid off.
