In the end, the tenant owes the rent and you must collect, or move on.

I have always found Cozy.co to be an exceptional resource, from listing a rental with photos, to accepting applications, letting the tenants pay for the background checks by themselves on the online portal, and letting them see the report automatically, to lease agreements, free monthly rent collections and tracking deposits etc...

Garnishments are your next method of collection.3.

If the first applicant for example, meets all of the criteria but I want to continue collecting applications and weigh the best ones after say...

I am not an attorney.There is currently a WA STATEWIDE moratorium on evictions and other actions by landlords to enforce collection of rent through June 4th:   https://www.governor.wa.gov/sites/default/files/20-19.1%20-%20COVID-19%20Moratorium%20on%20Evictions%20Extension%20%28tmp%29.pdf?

You should actually be able to live in it for a period of time to satisfy any owner occupancy requirements your lender will put on the mortgage loan (Usually one or two years) and save your money you collect from renters.

Generally, what services are included in this fee apart from tenant communication, rent collection, and maintenance coordination?

At $50 a month, which is very inexpensive for a dog over 40 pounds, you would have collected an additional $1,800 towards repairs.
