If it is a deal breaker for you then you need to find out right away if something can be changed.Often CC and R's are boiler plate from these national tenants.The developers sometimes do a poor job of working on the CC and R's before final agreement and ratification.Case in point a new Costco project I worked on that has multiple other pieces as part of the association being created and REA agreement.

The same concept is with the seminars but in this case you don't have to put any effort in other then swiping you CC.  

It's a working class B, C, C- neighborhood because it is close to the city but this is why the numbers work.

So I had to counter all the BS negatives he produced with pictures and documentation to assist the buyer - - 'fait accompli',  appraisal came in just 5k short the the listing price.The inspector was just way off base, opening subpanel covers and complaining on  the wiring - - just cleared by the City :sheeze:   Also made many ridiculous recommendations, including installing drains in all the flower beds.ALL such recommendations can be denied, I did, and I still closed at the listing price.Then too, the inspector & the appraiser both FAILED to cite a recent change in Code (cc 505.1) and it only got caught by the Fire Marshal and I had to scramble to get that corrected. 

It's "free" for landlords, the tenant has to pay 2.75% fee if they use a c/c (ACH seems to be free atm): https://cozy.co/features-pricingpayyourrent.com (recommended from another BPer) -- $9/mo fee (silly since Cozy seems monthly-fee-free) to accept c/c's & 2.75% c/c transaction fee, paid by you / tenant https://payyourrent.com/about-us/pricing/Plain old checks (I'm in a more old-school area and more old-school with this myself.)Venmo -- I have used this for some time now. 

My properties are located in an improving C/C+ neighborhood. 

But assured me they definitely wanted to rent my place and asked me to remove my listing, she didn't want to lose it, she would call me with the cc number the next morning. 

In both cases, sending a letter saying that if it wasn't resolved in X amout of time, legal action would be taken, solved the problem.It probalby didn't hurt that I wrote a CC on the bottom letter to a family member that is an attorney.Many states/cities have special regulations stipulating that landlords improperly withholding deposits are libable for multiple times the money withheld. 

If the individual has had some credit issues, but can prove to me they have gotten it together the most recent 12 to 24 mos e.g. can show me payment history on their current CC's, bills, etc, then there's some possible consideration, assuming 1 and 2 above are strong also. 

They're leverage for your cash when you have that money to support them (similar to allowing your tenants to pay your debts/mortgage).I have several CC, one for the bigbox hardware stores that give me 5% off my purchases.
