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.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

maybe only be extra $40,000 to build open loft... and I would guess I could possibly charge $2000/mo rent, not sure>>***I was kinda crunching numbers...if I'm estimating it correctly it will take me over 4.5 to 6.5 years in excess rent to make up the cost of building the private loft.....does that seem worth the extra loft cost?

Since living here I’ve put in a new HVAC in both units and kitchen into one unit, I’ve max out my credit card, and have had my parents help me.

I do not charge an application fee until I am ready to offer the unit to an applicant assuming that there is no disqualifying info on the credit/background report which I do run even though I don't require good credit.

Then turn around and pull the money back out but be charged interest on top does not make sense. 

They do not like doing these complex forms and charge quite a bit for them.

It would also be wise to educate yourself on what a good PM does and doesn't do, how they do it, what they charge and why, etc.My book, The DIY Landlord, will be out in December and can teach you how to select or supervise a property manager.

I replied to another comment that I think we just caught the PM in a lie regarding these charges.
