In that case, some carriers will perform an audit of agents on the brokers policy to see if they are over the 25% threshold. 

The interaction and entry of the guests, and marketing can easily be done remotely with keypads and various rental software platforms.

I'm also a programmer and techie so I'm always building some software or service to make real estate investors, landlords, tenants have a better experience and a more profitable one.Thanks everyone for making this awesome community, hope to be able to contribute!

Keep in mind if you do get audited, your receipts from grocery stores, local entertainment, etc could substantiate your claim.

Keep the appraisal as documentation in the event of an audit and use those numbers.

And I would suggest using an accounting software to make things easier.

Hey guys, I'm curious to which software you guys use to collect funds from tenants (rent, fees, etc.)?

I assume this means paying for their software that they use (e-partner software).

I have seen to many people try to do taxes themselves and then we have to go back 3 years and amend the returns because the taxpayer either is exposing themselves to audit risk or missed out on a great deduction that would have resulted in a larger refund 

My portfolio is expanding and I feel I need to make a switch to a different software (I am currently using Innago) which has worked well for years but is missing some of the more sophisticated features - there is no mobile app for landlords so it's hard to manage on the go, there is no accounting functionality built in, changing lease terms/renewals can be clunky.
