The host can exert too much time to collect or they can choose to not collect and pay the expense.  

Hi @Tyler Koller I've used apartments.co for screening and rent collection in the past and it worked well. 

They are intent on collecting money before there is any property cash flow and less interested in doing the job they are hired for.

They work on contingency, so it costs the plaintiff nothing unless the attorney collects from you.Take a look at: https://www.fcc.gov/document/f... 

This group is an incredible collection of midterm rental hosts who support one another by offering advice and suggestions, being a sounding board for each other, offering mentorship and collaboration opportunities and share our respective networks.

.- PM charges 8% of rent, which escalates to 10% if the property exceeds 95% occupancy with rent collection. - PM charges minimal fees.- PM is contractually obligated to perform annual maintenance/inspection to keep property in top shape. - PM provides a cash based accounting report every month, for every unit under management, that clearly labels all rent, all expenses, including management fees, and the net directly ties to the amount of money deposited into my bank account.- PM is a licensed handyman, or has them on staff, and takes care of most unit turn work at a reasonable rate. - PM has no breakup/termination fee- PM does not take project management fees, except on large or complicated CapEx projects exceeding $5,000. 

Realistically, to make the business work, they are hoping all the people who are using the "free services" to eventually go into banking where they can collect fees for anything bank related.

My question is: On new loans-how can we collect from each investor a small fee for our monthly services. 

Therefor, they aren't selling at that discount and instead just collecting monthly payments.

Quote from @D'Ann Melnick: Saw this was an old question, but it came up in search - this is all part of the rent stabilization laws passed in 2024 - https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/DHCA/Resources/Files/tena...The pet deposit cannot exceed $300 and the total amount of security deposits collected cannot exceed two month's rent.
