Do you know the markets you threw out really well? 

Our end goal is to be in a position where we can be very selective and choose the clients and properties we work with so that doesn't happen.

My recommendation would be to engage an investment property focused realtor (not a general residential realtor) and let that person guide you through the process from pre-qualification to market/property valuation and selection. 

There is already at least one request with a lot of votes for this feature, and you can allocate your "votes" to it as well...maybe Buildium will start work on it after it gets a few hundred more votes. 

Most traditional property managers don’t handle this setup due to challenges like managing tenant disputes, coordinating overlapping move-ins/outs, and the risk of Fair Housing violations when selecting tenants.

As for selective screening alone, even a property manager told me “even doctors sometimes stop paying”.

I would consider the tenant's past, as well as the condition of the unit, my local market, and other factors.

@Amanda Lindsay curious about which softwares you evaluated to select Rent Redi?

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!
