Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

I most want to avoid spending considerable time showing units in-person to prospective renters, esp. before we've pre-screened them.

Hello everyone,My company has developed our Tenant screening process ver thoroughly and over many years.

Screen tenants, adhere to fair housing laws, and consider property management apps.

Having a detailed rehab plan and experienced team is critical.Not Screening Tenants Properly:The rental phase is crucial, and bad tenants can cause property damage or miss rent payments, disrupting your cash flow.

I'm already using RentRedi to screen tenants, receive rent, deliver messages, but I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions on either a software or virtual assistant type platform that helps them automate maintenance requests...

They should only call or knock on your door if there's a true emergency (life, flood, or blood type stuff).

Professional tenants target mom and pop landlords with poor screening processes...rather than large class A and B properties with professional screening processes that disqualify most problem applicants...and lots of neighbors who actually pay their bills.  

Such as extended periods of vacancy between semesters...I have a MTR that is close to a university campus and my current tenants are students, but they also passed all the usual tenant screening in the same way that I've rented to other mid-term tenants in the past.

Quote from @Mei Zhu: Transunion Smart Move has an online application and screening that I recommend.Whichever you decide, make sure they provide a full credit report, not just a score.
