I am particularly nervous because I just purchased 8 new duplexes in a "C/C-" neighborhood on the last day of January and I don't know these tenants well and didn't personally screen them but I will **STILLL** be surprised if any of my tenants chooses to just quit paying rent because evictions are not possible.

With the current bans on evictions , be carefull on any new tenant . Make sure you get CASH , money order or certified check for the security deposit and first month rent . Verify employment . ( i wounder if you can e...

Services include - screen new tenants, - showing the units to potential tenants, contractors, inspections, appraisers, etc. - on-going communication with tenants and you,- move in and out inspections and reports,- monthly reports (may be financial),- monthly survey,- co-ordination with contractors, maintenance crew, cleaning staff,- taking pictures and videos, - using the management tool you provide, - picking up supplies, - 24 hours on-call,- ensuring paperwork/leases are complete, - issue notices, writing notices and posting,- ensuring low vacancy, ensuring high rents,- resolve issues,- collect laundry money,- be nice and approachable, etc... you get what you pay for. 

Whatever you do, make sure that your attorney is being paid a flat rate for the whole thing.

Aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published to 10+ major sites, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening with comprehensive applications -- pulled reports from TransUnion, which include nationwide criminal background checks + credit checks + eviction history, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool, and maintenance tracking tool), some services also offer your tenants waived ACH fees and additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

There may be a mild drop in prices strictly from a supply/lower demand (not many people shopping right now) but I wouldn't expect more then 10-20% or so drop in C areas and in most desirable areas it to just go flat until the lockdown is over.  

Is acquiring a Section 8 Tenant a possibility where Uncle Sam pays the greater portion of the rent and even has tenants available for screening in some markets? 

A lot of sources say it caps at 25% but I am wondering if that is flat or not. 

I could see how this method wouldn't work in all marketsAlso, from my experience the best screening on tenants is by meeting them...
