So, we're very familiar with the S8 program and tenants, and how to properly screen them to avoid the worst ones.PM us if you have additional questions:)

Given California's tenant-friendly laws, you'd probably be better off hiring a PMC to help you find & screen roommates. 

You can then have them re-apply to screen them through whatever your preferred method, which we do as well but we cover that 2nd application fee. 

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?

BP, I've been on a long search for technology and applications that allow me to automate parts of the tenant journey (leads, apt tours, screening, rent collection...).

In particular, they are very thorough in screening tenants so that there will be little hassles or turnover.

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.

Tenant Screening:Implement a thorough tenant screening process.

A tenant without a Section 8 voucher would have to show 3 x $1,000 or $3,000 for income.I would not adjust my other screening requirements.
