I've seen quite a few properties described beautifully with very nice pictures.

The tenant below sent me pictures of a hole in her ceiling and a torn spot on the side wall  asking what would cause this.

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.

Most commercial yards put a time limit on your rental anyway in order to be able to serve other customers. 

Seriously, in big picture say someone is willing to rent you a home on 99yr lease for $1.00yr, that you can rent for $2k mnth, are you gonna say no because you MUST hold title, must have that paperwork to it in the way you want it.From my vision, arguing how that paperwork is done is like saying you refuse to accept a truck-load of cash if the truck isn't blue in color.

I don't love that they only have one picture of the property on their website. 

(While providing no pictures - no location - nothing at all about the property
