Hey guys, I recently listened to a BP podcast a few months back, and David or Brandon spoke about some of the questions they used to screen management companies before using them to manage one or some of their properties.

I am very new at this and I'm just trying to understand the business.Rent Analysis: To answer your question, I asked a lot of questions because I'm very interested in learning property management and I think I did a pretty in-depth screening process for someone without any experience in the field. 

‘s post acting as reinforcement I feel like either your current pm isn’t screening hard enough for you, something is driving them away (area, pm, or conditions of property), or it’s the market/rental class you are in being a pain (I’m not at all familiar with other rental classes btw… )I also think you have to take the covid no-payer as an outlier and exclude him from your analysis.

When implementing large rent increases, I recommend you remove the current tenants and start fresh with renters you've screened and can train from the beginning.

With my original screening criteria I would require a tenant to possess a 600+ credit score, 33% rent to income ratio, and a relatively clear background check. 

Fancy new tern for a Granny Flat...

If you are still having trouble figuring this out in Quickbooks I would be happy to schedule a time to do a screen share and walk you though how to do it. 

I am looking for simple and probably free software to list,screen, prepare lease and optionally receive rent.

With regard to the electric, I charge a flat 100 per/month.I have been using Stessa for bookkeeping purposes. 

Just wondering if all of the HML that are listed in the "Network" section of this platform have been vetted and screened through the BP site?
