If you're uncomfortable giving access to the unit for showings (after prescreening) use a Realtor for tenant placement.

Typically tenant placement is the first month of rent so 100 bucks seems a little on the low side, what are they doing to advertise your property that they are able to do it for only 100 bucks?

You want your financing, risk reward determined, market identified and your access path.  

Maybe it’s the commercial lender in me, but I think it’s good business practice to retain, or at the very least have access to, all notices and documents that were given to the tenant.

Fundamentally, you want access to industry & schools.

In an emergency situation you could always access the HELOC at 8%-13%.This emergency situation should be considered before the funds are accessed with either method, can you afford to have no savings AND be paying 8%-13%.

meaning do I give hin access to the bank account?

They can access the program if that is something that might help. 

I hire a company to do the advertising required.
