Does anyone have nay suggestions when it comes down to screening besides the basics.I know some people like to visit potential clients homes to see if they are clean and orderly, but that can be a bit challenging when we are out of state. 

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?

You need to buy high quality properties, have stringent screening policies and take care of the property.

Always screen or vex your tenants, check their references and make sure they have a good job.

Last time I checked, there were hundreds of spreadsheets and I'm sure many of them are designed by/for flippers. https://www.biggerpockets.com/filesYou can always find fileplace at the bottom of every screen, left menu.I also recommend you go to etsy.com and search for "house flipping spreadsheet."

Second, I'd like to know any specific marketing tactics and methods to screen potential renters.

Generally speaking, we would encourage you to screen your tenants - whether they are section 8 or not.We would encourage you to collect a deposit - whether they are section 8 or not.A tenant can certainly be a "good" tenant or a "bad" tenant - whether they are section 8 or not.Now, if you are targeting lower valued homes...there are "pros" and "cons" to doing that - whether you are renting to section 8 or not.
