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?

I plan to save the rental income for reserves, screen tenants properly, buy in C+ to B class properties. 

And if you think that you could just give them more points on screening so they are more likely to get your place then other professions, without a discount. 

Check everything like handrail on the interior stairs to make sure none of the brackets are broken, loose electrical sockets etc.It will depend on the age and condition of the house.

I prefer to charge an increase to the monthly rent.Do some research on BiggerPockets or Google to learn about screening pets, how much to charge, setting rules, enforcing rules, etc.

But, I will be finding/negotiating the deal, listing the property for rent, screening tenants, and handling all maintenance myself.

They will handle all aspects of renting out your second home.Long-Term Rentals (LTR): The management firm can find long-term tenants for your property, screen potential renters, handle lease agreements, and manage any issues that arise during the tenancy.Seasonal or Short-Term Rentals: If you prefer to rent out your property on a seasonal or short-term basis, the management firm can handle marketing, bookings, check-ins, check-outs, and cleaning between guests.

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.

The other primary time requirement is tenant interviews and screening; which I feel could also be out sourced with a pre-made script (at least the initial phase of tenant screening).

After the eviction process, we got back possession and discovered significant amount of damages from feces on carpets and walls, broken garage door, broken fence door, broken laundry washer, to unimaginable horrors on the trees, and landscapes.
