I'm currently trying to build my list of interview questions that I would/could use when it comes to screening and finding the right Real Estate Agent.

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 would protect myself and cut my losses so I was not looking over my shoulder or getting high blood pressure every time I heard a knock on the door (hoping it is not the FBI showing up to ask you some questions). 

However, the process was extremely cumbersome, communication was inefficient, and the loan fees were inflated compared to other deals I have seen from fellow investors.We will be ready to begin the refinance stage of our next project in the coming days, as renovation is finishing up and we are screening tenants.

I think you exactly know what they want haha..Sell and move on or pay the shark the blood

Try to screen for a higher quality tenant next time.

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

We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the Cape Coral/fort Meyers area, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

New year, new laws (Senate bills 205, 206 & 207).Effective January 2, 2025, Michigan landlords can no longer consider a tenant's source of income when screening them.
