Now, he was asking for $100,000.00 at a 20% flat rate for three months.

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?

Check references, screen well like a normal LTR tenant, if everything checks out why not? 

If that's the case, I'd highly reccomend that you come up with objective screening criteria that every tenant must meet, no exceptions.

Professional management and screening will have the largest impact on how your investment performs month to month from a cash flow perspective. 

I have a few questions about your screening questions before I am able to put them to use.1.

I purchased a duplex with 2 sets of tenants just like yours last July. after going thru the process with the first ones and paying a flat rate, I was able to negotiate A split rate for first the filing and then the court appearance.

Guess you just have to be preppared for it and really screen your tenants.

Quote from @Emory Clayton: Cosigners are screened just like any applicant, but they have to meet different criteria to ensure they can cover the financial side of things when the tenant fails.
