@Yvonne H. and what service do you currently use?

I am just starting out as a property manager (real estate agent) and needing a tenant screening that lets me enter in the info - know any that are good?My tenants filled out an application and have only 1 email addres...

The brokerage makes money from brokering the agents and the brokerage makes a profit from the agents for brokerage services. 

I understand that even though that I’m not a real estate broker or agent that I can get and use the MLS Listing service .

If it fell into what I expected them I would dig deeper to get a more accurate picture of what the expenses actually are.Of course this is without debt service of any kind.

Depending on if any review is open with the servicer currently and history of the account, a postponement may still be possible. 

There's also note servicing companies who do this for a monthly fee. 

Can you shop around for this type of service?

I would be hiring them to provide this service each year to report the value as of Dec 31st.

In addition, of course to location (proximlty to all the attractions), size, age, service, amenities ..In October 2016, I used my HELOC to buy a long term rental property in Palm Bay, FL which is currently leased out (yearly) starting March 2017 (and renewed last month).
