You may also have squatters sneak into your house from those platforms that don't screen guests well.

They will line you up with several pre-screened, licensed/bonded contractors that do the work you need.

Because you are literally guessing at market rent and the PM will…1) keep your application and denial process legal2) advertise, screen and place the new tenant faster and better3) probably save you more money than they cost you. 

Since then, we've been fairly flat as rates stabilized around 7%.

Is the micro market (neighborhood) appreciating, flat, or declining, and what is it expected to do over the next 5 years?  

Asked my insurance company if they would insure a 'vacation rental' thru either of the above companies and they gave a flat 'no'. 

I'm sure you can negotiate a flat fee. 

There's definitely some risk in there that bookings remain flat and not everyone uses the coupon.

What tenant screening tools do you use?

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?
