Hi @Rudy Bello I submitted a property tax bill for a rental. It lists my name on there as the owner, lists my business address and the address of the property. That was on June 2. The next day I got a generic email (not from the officer who requested the documents), saying that the loan was approved. And I just checked - the loan funded today. Let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck!

Hi @Avi Garg good point actually, thanks!

Hi @Jeremy Anan thank you for your suggestion!

Something is finally happening with my application. Received the "create the portal login" email mid-last week, and asked to reduce my loan to under $25K. I get an email today asking  "Please provide at least one, a business card, business invoice, or a bill with the name of the business and address." I own my property in my own name (no LLC), I don't have business cards and the invoices go through my management company. I'm thinking what would be considered a "bill" here - mortgage bill? utility bill? Has anyone fulfilled this request? What did you send?

Ok, here is an update. I submitted on 4/2, app 360055. Got my credit pulled today. No $1000 deposit. No emails or any other contact from SBA.

I also just received the same generic email about the $1,000 per employee. Applied on 4/2. No employees. 

I am looking for recommendations from small property owners (I have a 4-plex) on what to do about laundry washer/dryer. I am currently leasing from WASH Laundry and they collect for me and send a check. In general, I was content with them. However, we have had some break-ins/theft from the laundry room and getting WASH to help (upgrade machines to mobile app, etc.) is proving to be difficult (and their customer service for a small client like me is crappy)

So, 1) If you rent your machines - can you recommend the company? 2) If you own your own, what type? Do you maintain them or do you hire a service? (if so, which one and how much do they charge?) Do you do coins or a mobile app for payments (if app, which and how much do they take?) 

Any other tips or suggestions are welcome! 

Thank you in advance!

I would like to hear from anyone who successfully implemented RUBS at their property, on their own (without a RUBS billing company). 

Which bills did you include? (water?gas?trash?all?) 

How did you break down the bills? (same per unit, per number of occupants (any difference for adults/kids), SF, number of bathrooms) 

How did your tenants handle the matter? (did you get push-back?, did any tenants actually choose to move out?) 

Did you have onsite coin laundry, and if yes, how did you handle removing the water/gas expense from the overall expense? 

Was there anything that you tried with RUBS that seriously back-fired? 

My specific situation is as follows: I have a four-unit building in southern California, with one water meter & one gas-heated water tank. I do not want to invest in sub-metering unless there is no other way. I want to pass on the trash, water (excluding sprinklers and the coin laundry) & gas used to heat the water expense to tenants. In the 3 out f 4 units the rents are under-market by about 10%. All together, the expense I will be passing on is about $400, so roughly $100 per unit if split evenly. I was thinking about splitting the cost per resident, but something irks me about penalizing people for having kids. 

Thank you!

Hi Chris, 

Did you ever get that quote from http://www.guardianwp.com? I am considering sub-metering my 4-plex, and I believe they work in my area - would love to know roughly how much they would charge. 

Thanks :)
