If you promoted that in lieu of leasing, it is possible that a property manager may screen less well if the tenant profile is more conducive to a long term tenant (aka, I'll sign a three year lease, etc).

Mix in medical conditions that require medicines like blood thinners (My grandfather had the heat set to 80 when he was on them) and your even more screwed I think.I know on my Nest T-Stats at home, I can set a schedule based on the hour.

Have them help underwrite the deal, have them help screen contractors, etc.

@ Manuel Luz i am sorry to hear about that i cant understand some peoples moral compass. when you were going thru the rental process with this tenant what type of screening did you do ? 

And I think @David Bokman 's point is also on point that you shouldn't expect a lot of appreciation in this area.Like with any rental, tenant screening is crucial in this area because opioids and other drugs have hit the area hard.

Tenants under section 8 are more likely to turn out this way despite screening well.also: Imagine administering your rental through the DMV and having your tenant get in a crash while driving your car without insurance - yeah, its like that.Thanks for your reply~ What do you mean by "owner certification"? 

Everyone has their own process but we find that a short phone screen works well to filter out the non-qualified.

We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the Miami area, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

We have a person who helps us (he is not really a property manager, but someone who screens our tenants, shows the property, lets contractors in, etc).

I've never utilized it but from what they explained to me when they did call me back, I have to find a Section 8 renter, screen them, and then apply for Section 8 and have the inspection and then they can move in.
