Are you not necessarily denying him based on screening criteria - Some landlords make it a requirement to view the property prior to letting the applicant apply.

All things being equal, I would accept these applicants, but I would require them to pay a deposit equal to two months of rent.

These platforms typically have billing policies where you pay a per unit fee per month to the software and you get regular updates and support each month.There are a number of low-cost platforms available that are able to offer you a lower price by passing along some of the costs to your tenants (payment processing fees, applications, tenant screening, etc).

My application includes an acknowledgment that everything is true and complete.

I like that it’s an all-in-one platform for tenant applications, rent collection, and maintenance requests, which helps keep everything organized.

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

I think it should appraise for at least 600k and think 650k is reasonable.It’s fully renovated and fully leased for $5,200/month.I’ve reached out to banks to see if I could use cross collateral to be my equity contribution but at least so far they’ve also wanted 10% cash.I’d like to avoid coming out of pocket with cash.I was wondering if you had creative ideas on how I might be able to get this financed 💗

Piling on...all occupants who are 18 or older (or legal emancipated minor) should absolutely be required to make application. 

You can go as low as 2.5x in some cases but NJ tends to produce enough traffic/applicants where 3x should be minimum unless property is over priced.

Their platform is very glitchy and they overcharge for posting on Zillow/Trulia.
