I recommend you interview at least 2 people in each area you think you may be interested in pursuing.

Does anyone know of any services who will advertise, screen and interview tenants?

Your mentorship, blog/forum posts, and podcast interviews have helped in a tremendous way.

I conduct a pre-screening phone interview with all applicants after reviewing their application (background check is clear and all).
