I want to cover my ***(et) without paying for unnecessary ********.That being said...What are you willing to pay a little more for and where are you willing to pinch a few pennies?

Doing pre-employment drug screens. 

It looks like of the 250+ messages I have in my inbox I can only scroll down through 2 screen's worth (about 50 messages) and then no older one's load. 

I am very green at flipping but I've learned enough about how to NOT run a business in the past to know that systems and processes can save me from a lot of unnecessary headaches.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

Go to NETWORK at the top of your screen and you can search for other investors and investment groups in your area.

For example, you might have a requirement that "ALL windows and screens are complete and functional, with no cracks or tears".

I don't feel that my criteria are outrageous - 650 fico, 2.5x to 3x income to rent (im in SoCal), no violent criminal history, verified rental history w/no major neg feedback from previous landlord.If any of you out there have some good tips regarding filtering applicants before they waste too much time, please share them - (how much qualification info do you put in your ads, do you reiterate this criteria in all of your communications to them, do you do pre-screening applications prior to seeing the units, etc etc etc).

They will screen you, and your credit and can give you a better answer than any of us looking from the outside in.
