We don't use any type of online portal for rent, screening etc.

@Jennifer Ryan here are some of the things we look for:- understand their business: how old, how big, etc- properties: what types do they manage, avg rental amount range, avg lease length, vacancy lengths- fees: onboarding, tenant placement, monthly, renew fee, inspections, etc- tenant screening: in house or no, how screen, how many past landlords contacted, does owner have word in final say- collecting rent: process for late rent, collection, eviction- maintenance: in house or no, how do they communicate with owner, do they hold maintenance fund, process for major repairs- Misc: online tools for owner and tenant, how do they pay owner, what day of month do they pay ownerAlso, make sure you don't sign a contract that locks you in for a year.

It is likely too late at this point, but for future reference, it would be much better to lose the popcorn ceilings and do a smooth skim coat or even a light texture on the drywall for the ceilings.I'm not a fan of the yellowish looking paint (although it may be nicer in person than on screen/photos) and the two colors in the bedroom don't flow well.

It Is okay but I really just started to use it as it two years ago as it was free on all fronts (not anymore for screening) when I started. 

I don’t think there is any fee to do so.3-From my vetting process about a year ago, most PM companies I screened in Atlanta area were charging 8% of rent collected per month.

I generally know how to screen, but I am getting a bunch of illegal aliens, without social security numbers..Any tips on screening them?

Take your time screening tenants, don't just accept the first ones that apply.

You don't want to keep a Tenant that starts off by being difficult.If the original lease has expired, or they are under a verbal agreement, give them the choice of passing your screening and signing a new lease within five days or you will give them a 30-day Notice of Termination (or whatever your state requires).

I screen thoroughly and remind our new tenants about noise etc.

*grinsI actually have those two phrases on on my written screening criteria as a reason to DENY people.
