How/where do your prospective tenants fill out applications?

[Anthony Barbato]

Just curious how some of you without a dedicated office are dropping off and picking up tenants applications while remaining professional and business-like? Usually I drop off an application to an interested party at the new unit being rented, and show them the unit at the same time. My question is, once they leave with the application and call the next day to tell me it's ready, what do most of you do? Do you meet the tenant back at the apartment just to pick it up? I'm worried that if I tell some of the lower income tenants that the application needs to be emailed back to me, they won't have internet access or access to a scanner. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
