As a professional property manager myself, I understand the essential tasks that investors are looking for from their property manager, like rent collection, maintenance, and tenant screening.

Hi members.  was wondering if anyone had this experience or insight on credit history.Met with a potential tenant for a class B-C type apartment I own and interview went very well, she asked a lot of questions about t...

I am seeking a property management tool to schedule showings, screen tenants, collect rent, and allocate maintenance requests to one centralized platform.

There are a lot of sketchy people living as roommates, so you want to cast a wide net, screen carefully, and be patient.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

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.

Though if personal use or long term safety are a concern it can make a lot of sense as Disney will always be a market (whereas places like Broken Bow I could see fading from popularity) and unlike many markets there is almost no regulation risk since these properties are built in tourist zones specifically for STR.I own there and manage others so have real world revenue data if you want specifics.

Someone sent me this screen shot from a prominent real estate "guru's" social media.

Hey BP I have questions I'd like to consider myself a strict person when it comes to screening my tenants recently I have a few section 8 applicants.

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?
