I would get on the phone with a local lender through a local bank. 

Finding someone with the expertise to screen and place tenants properly is rare.

Get them out and start with leases and only rent to people that you have screened. 

The previous owners took reservations mostly by phone, wrote them on a big paper wall calendar and hand keyed CC numbers into a terminal 😲The bunk beds have been a huge win. 

What are your best tips for screening tenants, especially for student renters?

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 was talking to my brother on the phone and would like to get others educated opinions on the matter.

They offer a free phone consultation.

Right now you say it is $400/mo but in the summer it is much less so you need an average. you can't gouge tenants or you'll get a phone call one day from a lawyer. 

He was pay ed to install a AC unit in my home and disappeared  he refuse to answer the phone calls texted massages he stole my money and won't respond
