I now have to provide the routine documents (W-2s, pay stubs, tax returns ect...)

@Dave Visaya thanks for the advice I'll try to make it but scheduling with my day job could be an issue.

My schedule ranges from fairly flexible to extremely busy.  

I gave my $300,000 move-in ready beautiful vacant home to this large well known local co in Oct 2016.( Ive owned and self-managed another very similar rental in the same subdivision-- since 1998--and it has never had one day of vacancy in 16 years-- rented at $1860.This professional pm co put all utilities in their name on my new property and turned the hot water heater ON and the Water ON ( even tho the main water cutoff valve is easily accessible in the coat closet beside the garage.They let the property sit VACANT OCT-NOVand on their "routine inspection on Dec 1, to make sure hobos had not moved in" they SAW the water heater in the garage was spewing (at full blast) A 20' stream/ fountain of HOT WATERand that the entire finished closed garage was covered COVERED !!

This can cut into your schedule depending on what they are.You may not be nearly as good at negotiating as you think ;-)

Delivered key to process agency, tell them my tenant's schedule, and they miss her.  

Not very good with communication/scheduling/follow upsPlease share your thoughts...

I'm also scheduling visits to some of these properties so that I can get a better sense of values and rents which will help me to recognize the diamond in the rough.

Because of my extensive work travel schedule, I took a shot at Airbnb'n my home 7 months ago while I was away and the returns have paid my mortgage each month since.

I would have him pay a partial month for February, and then on 3/1 have him pay a full month to keep him on a normal schedule.
