I offer an online payment portal to submit rent payments via ACH or CC - they "couldn't figure out how to use it" so I set us up to accept Zelle payments.

Even if they could save 5-10% on that $800 bid, which is $40-$80, if it took more than 1-2 hours they'd be losing money doing it because their time is worth at least $40/hour.In our opinion, it really depends on the level of urgency and the size of the bid.The more urgency, like no hot water, the less time the PMC has to get multiple bids.The bigger the bid, the more likely it is an owner should expect multiple bids.An owner has to be realistic, understand and accept these limitations.
