What exactly is their, "strict tenant screening & matching process"?

Screen whenever you can, there's no reason not to.

@Audrey Sommerit's just a very, very rough rule of thumb that says to assume that 50% of a property's rent will go to non-financing expenses.it's a screening tool designed to screen down candidates to a manageable pool - but then every property needs to be analyzed on its own merits. 

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?

Here are just 10 ways they add value:Tenant Screening & Placement: A professional manager screens hundreds, maybe thousands of applications per year.

Any screening service that works for long term rentals works just as well for MTR.I do my analysis my checking comps on Airbnb and using Pricelabs market data tools.Let me know what else I can help with!

Screen new tenant.

Do you have screening processes and criteria in place? 

That's why these screening processes exist, if anything ever comes up like this and you get that red flag, and not everything aligns, if you're getting those red flags this early on, imagine what will happen when they are Planted into the home?

I use a point system for screening; applicants get positive points for positive aspects, lose points for negative aspects, and I have a point threshold for each property.
