My biggest tip here is work with the smaller companies.

Hi Nate - It'd be worth asking the lender for a detailed breakdown of closing costs for this program, as well as an estimate of the interest rate you'd get with today's rates (they'll probably need to pull your credit to do this).

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

Great tip!

I do not use Rent Ready, but I know that it is a perk of my pro membership here and I am considering setting it up to help my tenant establish credit.
