So, owners mistakenly think price is the only differentiator – and look for a PMC like they’d shop for groceries☹We encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others by reading posts here on BiggerPockets from owners that picked a PMC solely by price and regretted it.We recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Even if someone gives you a referral, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that just because a PMC met their expectations, they’ll meet your expectations.

In MA, it helps to be a little more structured than that.Here’s what I recommend focusing on:Income verification + pay stubs/bank statements (document everything)Rental history (prior landlord references + payment history)Debt-to-income / affordability (helps avoid issues mid-lease)Consistency across the application (missing info, mismatched dates, etc.)Biggest mistake I see: rushing screening to avoid vacancy… then paying for it later with nonpayment, damage, or constant drama.Always use consistent screening criteria for every applicant and follow Fair Housing guidelines.
