And if my credit hadn't been good enough, they could have charged me twice that much.I had to have enough money to travel back and forth to interviews with the property manager, and the housing authority interviews, too.So, my point is that - you can be really picky, even if you agree to accept Section 8 tenants.But, if your property is the type of property where nobody in their right minds would rent it - unless they had absolutely no other options - then don't buy that property in the first place.If it's too late for the above, then try to be super picky.

These can be lease terms like charging a bit more for a month to month term or charging more for a more desirable unit.

So if we were given 30 days notice we could turn on our marketing, screen applicants and almost always dovetail  the new tenant’s move-in to within a few days of the old tenant exiting.

I saw people do remote management for short term rental, wondering if this can be also applicable for a remote long term rental. 

Turn the bill into a $3,000 one and let them charge your $4,000 & let them hold some liability with the applications of use.

If the unit is in good condition and is priced competitively, you should get at least one application.
