She included a screen-shot from her phone that said clicking sounds from an outlet could be faulty wiring and were a fire hazard.

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

Looks like they do all their screening and work with the client to find a stable job and help them get back on their feet.

Screen tenants well.

Minimum Qualification StandardsApplicants who do not meet minimum screening standards will not be approved.Applicant must have current photo identification and a valid social security number.Applicant's monthly household income must exceed three times the rent.

Make a list of the most common lease violations like late rent, non-payment of rent, bounced check, unauthorized occupants, application screening, someone paid a deposit but then changed their mind and doesn't want to rent, unauthorized animals, abandonment, tenant wants to break lease early, noise violation, not mowing yard, etc.

You need clear cut understandings regarding screening standards, leases, repairs, expenses, evictions, late fees, regular communications, etc, etc etc.

Again, I do hundreds of applications a year and have been using online applications and screening for almost nine years with no issues.Company A sounds the most experienced/professional but I'm curious why they would hire a PM with a recent criminal record.

Ideally, you figure out how to manage the house well and can screen tenants not only for the ability to pay, but the ability to fit into the eco-system of the community you've built.I'm looking to expand this strategy further as I think the returns are insanely high and worth the management. 

I’ve read many replies about not using lock boxes because of the risk someone trashing the property, stealing items, putting the home up for rent after knowing the code, losing the keys, not putting keys back in the box, you want to see/get a “feel” for the type of person they are, etc.People also recommended ways to prevent this by requiring photo identification of anyone viewing the property and only giving them the code once they have arrived at the property.It seems that if you had more than 3-5 properties that you are managing or listing it would be an enormous waste of time and maybe impossible depending on the location of the properties to meet every screened/prospective tenant at each house.
