There are a lot of bad tenants, but a smart investor learns how to screen them out.

Go to NETWORK at the top of your screen and you can search for Real Estate Agents, contractors, lenders, meetups, and more.

@Ray Realdine,We use cozy.co for our application/screening, and personally-- I think the extra hoops to have to go online helps weed out serious vs. non-serious buyers.   

Then the renters could decide if they want it to be a 4th bedroom or a tv room.

As a host, is it recommended to provide apps on the Smart TV with log ins already set up (which would cost monthly fees) or to just have the apps downloaded on the Smart TV whereby the guests would log into their respective apps? 

Well if you just want to rent it "faster", you could not only skip the security deposit but also get rid of any tenant screening and perhaps even lower the rent some.   

You also have to do your due diligence, like screening the property, the property owner and the terms of the lease or owner financing to make sure that the deal is viable and beneficial for you.

I understand getting a system set up and I would be interested in Buildium software.I understand collecting rental payments and screening tenants.

I agree, you reviewed their screening criteria and hired the PM to do this for you, so let them do their job. 

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?
