That's less than anyone's paying in rent. 

Quote from @Josh Jung: surprised you haven't heard of RBP. it's like a mix of services you can offer to your tenants like renters insurance, virtual concierge, etc So the property manager/landlord pays for their renters insurance, and filters?  

You are bold for taking on a non-paying tenant. 

That equals less than 1k per property.

I'd pay it & chalk it up to lesson learned.

These platforms typically have billing policies where you pay a per unit fee per month to the software and you get regular updates and support each month.There are a number of low-cost platforms available that are able to offer you a lower price by passing along some of the costs to your tenants (payment processing fees, applications, tenant screening, etc).

Then they have to sign a W-9 before we'll pay them.So, we've never had to deal with illegals, etc.

Got an equity line of credit and borrowed from it to pay cash for the property.
