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?

It varies by property size as well.

You really pulled up an old post.Go to GET STARTED > EVENTS AND MEETUPS at the top of your screen.

The best practice is to learn how to screen well.

I tried doing everything solo; it was a rookie move that cost time and money.On tenants - screen thoroughly and consistently.

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.

Size & Dimensions: The room must be at least 70 square feet. 

In my 40 years of contracting we always get 1/3 down regardless of the size of the job , change orders are paid at the time of the change . if its not specifically included , its excluded . 

Has anyone here successfully managed a portfolio of this size remotely?

You certainly would not want to allocated 10 units equally if number of residents and size were unique IMO.Here's a helpful link for those new to the concept:http://www.multifamilyutility.com/rubs.html
