I'm using Buildium's free 15 day trial.

That trial period lets you see which method works best before scaling up.Moreover, the consistency and success of any agency largely depend on how well you follow up with your project manager and monitor the KPIs.

If you decide to take the partnership from a trial, to an ongoing long-term partnership, then get the attorneys involved and create an ironclad, partnership. 

Quote from @Austin McDonald: I'm using Capital One at 4.23% Ally: 4.25% APYMarcus: 4.30% APYM1 Finance: 5.00% APY (must be an M1 Plus member, but I believe they’re still offering free trial.  

Learning to manage locally is trial by fire. 

Lender works out a trial payment plan and loan mod.Well you can choose what you think, we have historical data over the past 2-3 years on this and unless the borrower has died, option #3 almost never occurs (1 in 10), option #4 and option #5 take up the other 90% from what we have seen.

I just cancelled my free trial subscription and honestly there was nothing in the system that warranted $400.00/month.

Quote from @Devin James: In one of our development projects, the City staff asked us to remove 40 units from our concept plan.This wasn’t requested by the City Commission at a formal hearing, it was the opinion of the staff.Our original concept already proposed fewer units than the current zoning would have allowed.Here’s what erasing 40 units means:- 40 fewer homes for buyers- Over $1M in lost profit for our team- Fewer tax dollars and impact fees that could’ve benefited the City’s infrastructure & servicesWe gotta get betterEveryone wants more affordable housing, but not everyone wants to do what it takes to achieve it we never listen to the recommending bodies. we move for city approvals and work closely. the other thing we do is keep going back to the same groups over and over and over and over every month on the same agenda and make very small reductions like 2% or 4% and that reduces and beats them down eventually they accept what you want. it's just before beating a dead horse. we keep tabling until they give us something we all agree on then we go to vote. in our city in columbus we have to get recommendations but that's our strategy. we used to come out as aggressive as possible. we typically study developments in the area and keep it very similar in terms of density. we have a track record of very controversial projects and litigation and not taking no as an answer. after a year of that haha I can tell you it's not worth it. now we are more relationship based and buying the right kinds of plots of land. if the numbers don't work on the front end don't do the development. 

Juries side with the “victim” against the investor, so always go with a bench trial.

You could read 100 books and still need to learn more because certain things must be learned through trial and error.
