Use the top three or four discriminators so applicants can screen themselves.Then you need to have clear screening criteria yourself.

If the report looks good, We have a phone interview. 

Close to a cool little town, close to an area attraction, etc....Also do a search here and see how to screen guests, in addition to what the hosting sites do.... like no last minute bookings, no short stays....

Next time please screen better or use a PM. 

Its a scare tactic and she is trying to bully you into letting her get away with this BS.You need to screen WAY better and/or hir e PM for future tenants. 

Screening: Includes income verification and rental history verification.

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?

I'm wondering how do you all screen your tenants?

Okay pal, go with them I am sure it will work out the same (sarcasm) (hangs up phone).Like anything in life, you get what you pay for. 

For the first townhome, we are in the renovation process and looking to screen our first tenants.
