Not sure why that happen, however the best way to screen a potential tenant is to see how they have performed in the past. 

One potential mentor I had one phone call with and never contacted him again. 

I make sure I screen each potential tenant thoroughly (background and credit checks) and require references.

Screening is important.

If you DM me your email and phone number, I will pass it on to my contact and introduce you.. 

Last time I did that, years ago, I got off the phone and figured it out myself. 

This is something their screening probably would have caught, or their system would have a legal procedure to deal with it.

@Jorge Vazquez we stopped doing signs over 10 years ago.We had a separate phone number on our signs, so were able to track traffic & applications from them.We were getting more & BETTER leads from our online ads then the signs - so an easy choice to stop using them (also time & money savings).

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?

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