You're using a company to manage tenant phone calls/inquiries and then send in vendors for repairs.

Just got off the phone with another DIY landlord looking to hire a PMC.They really didn't like our response to their question, "How long does it take you to find a tenant?"

The new person must complete an application and pass the screening.

We rent an environmental screen database that provides us with a 24 hour turnaround environmental screen and engineer evaluation of the report. 6.

**Tenant Screening**: The Section 8 program will cover a tenant's rent, but that doesn’t mean you should skip tenant screening.

You the investor and owner of the properties will care about your investment the most, not the agent, not the contractor, not the property manager (they can screen tenants but they still get paid but the repair costs are being deducted out of your rental income and more costs if you need to evict a tenant).I've heard great things about upstate NY and would consider looking in that area or within a 2 hour drive of where you live (not sure if you're near NYC).

Well no return phone calls.

After multiple phone calls and emails, I delivered the following email regarding my PreREO note purchase:  Hi Karen,Any update on this?

A PMC is the ONLY one that will deal daily with your property.Here's some copy & paste advice on hwo to screen PMCs:Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Quote from @Jackie Liu: Hello BP member, I have a friend who currently owns several SFH rentals that is currently managed by a PM in Indiana, according to them the PM has been unresponsive for 3 months, all their attempts to reach the PM has been uneventful (phone, message, etc.).
