AI-powered platforms can be a useful tool to manage the routine tasks of a landlord such as collecting rent, tenant screening, maintenance requests and tenant communications.

@Jack Lindstrom I think comprehensive screening will get you where you need to go with non-Section 8 housing.

The evictee will be in there giving great advice if anything doesn't work out...It's important that you document what you screening criteria are (a policy) and stick to it.

I know the process of touring houses, getting home inspection, researching market rents, looking for tenants, screening tenants, etc takes up a lot of time.

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?

to do anything bigger ...I'm amazed at how little lenders know about VA construction loans, many of the lenders we talked to just flat out said they don't exist, and obviously they're wrong.  

The point of screening an applicant is to determine the level of risk to your property, your income, and others.

There is nothing that ruins a business relationship quicker than poor communication and unexpected fees.Some PMs add a flat fee or a percentage on top of maintenance bills.
