When I use an agent (rarely), she charges $40 app fee per adult.I also shoot a video of the house showing and describing it.

I disagree about the charging the upfront fee makes a serious buyer.I can't tell you how many scammers I have seen in the commercial lending arena.I can say one problem lenders face is they get a package submitted to them and then give an LOI.Then in due diligence the buyer finds out the income levels and returns were not as stated.Now the lender wants a bigger payment down from the buyer or the buyer has to get the seller to reduce to the actual proven numbers.The deal falls out and the lender made nothing.The way to solve this is submit a detailed and verified package upfront.This way you know the numbers you are sending have been verified.Lenders site confidentiality etc. when doing loans so you can't verify other properties they have closed.If lenders state money has to be in escrow or a deposit have YOUR attorney hold in an account the lender does not have access to or authorization to.This way the money can be shown to be there and earmarked for the purposes of the loan.I am telling you these scammers will do anything to separate you from your money.I know some deals I wasn't involved in where the people chased the lender for 6 months to get back 500k.Do not let lenders PUFF fees.If they say they have to pay for appraisal then tell them you will pay the appraiser directly.If you are a legit lender and you make money when you close a loan you should have no problem with this.If however you are a fee generator mill and you hardly close anything or a point taker with upfront fees I can't tell clients to work with you.Some point takers take money to submit apps knowing the lender will not close or that it's a sham.They usually charge a small amount upfront to entice the victim.Usually 500 to a few thousand.

If a family of Mom, Dad, and 3 kids fill out an app, you can not legally discriminate against large families.

I've only ever combined PDFs with Adobe Acrobat writer but there are other apps that supposedly combine PDFs, just google it.

Essentially, it's an iPhone app that will recognize the property that you are at (with location enabled setting) and provide the user access to a property profile, comps, tax info, and the usual title company online services.

Get an application and app fees.

For me, I've found that once the tenant has had a lengthy discussion with you, as long as the house is even remotely viable for them, they'll fill out the app and want in.

My issue is simply an online app pulldown issue.

Look closely at a few grant apps and reporting metrics requirements and tell me what you think....
