In just the past week, I've had to deny six applications from agent-led showings because the agents didn’t conduct proper due diligence upfront.

I have had professional PM for 10+ years and I have never seen a tenant application from them. 

TurboTax has rental property features, and the IRS has a great guide on rental income, deductions, and recordkeeping - IRS Rental Property Tax Guide.https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/tips-on-rental-real-estate-income-deductions-and-recordkeeping2.

Listing contained no interior photos and a limited write up with most who viewed the listing focused on "two retail spaces and "9 (1) bedroom apartments"  At first look most would pass over this because they would see $195K/unit with 9 being 1 bedroom units. 

Quote from @Kristin Vegas: @Drew Sygit at this moment i have a vacant house and march will be 3 month vacant, i was told by my management guy that there were few applications and that he was going to check it but i still don't receive his response from it, today i called him to ask him about it and he said that he was gonna check them today but still no answer. 2 weeks ago he sent two applications but those were declined becasue the tenants didn't feet the criteria. i called his helper and she said that he was encharged of it but he seems to be all over the place, somethimes i think that he is just not taking the time withy properly. i'm new in this so any tip i appreciate 🙏 Another reason to start looking for a new PMC!

Your biggest challanges:1) Figuring out how to advertise on Zillow2) Handling all the calls3) Scheduling showings - and getting stood up4) Finding a rental application to use - you can use Zillow's or easily Google for one.5) Figuring out how to screen applicants ***** This is IMPORTANT!

Charge application fee.

Your criteria seem a bit strict for Section 8 applicants.
