Definitely screen properly and don’t cut corners!

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.

Non paying tenants(as a newbie I did no screening), dead tenants, Silly fines from the city for nothing, attempted robberies where I ended up with the cops pulled guns on me. 30 recently released convicts as neighbors for a while, a jacked up 7' tall transvestite call girl/drug dealer was my least favorite neighbor.

I always assumed that the buildings in that area were condos and flats mostly.  

I'm told the screening criteria credit score is on the higher end .But most of the listings I see are also on the same league.

If the area is not growing, then appreciation will be flat.

Have you considered a flat fee MLS listing as a way to gauge interest and possibly sell?

As a busy 9-to-5 worker, a property management company can streamline rent collection, tenant screening, and maintenance, though they charge 8–12% of rent.

Why would you literally wait until the last minute, when a flat tire or difficulty finding a parking space be the difference between keeping and losing your home?

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?
