Quote from @D'Ann Melnick: Saw this was an old question, but it came up in search - this is all part of the rent stabilization laws passed in 2024 - https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/DHCA/Resources/Files/tena...The pet deposit cannot exceed $300 and the total amount of security deposits collected cannot exceed two month's rent.

The tenants enjoy using the interface, it is simple to communicate with them as a whole or individually, collect rent payments and see when they are in transit, offer CC payment options at tenants expense, track maintenance request, share documents, and lease the property.Short comings are their financial portion.

I hire local professionals for inspections and cleaning, but even then, I’ve run into issues where things were missed because I wasn’t physically there.3.Tools: I use software like Tenant Cloud for rent collection and maintenance tracking, but no tool can replace having someone who can physically check on properties.

Attorney’s Fees; Collection Related Costs; Jury Waiver.

Make use of its features like online rent collection, maintenance requests, and tenant screening.Local Resources: Consider joining the Central Indiana Real Estate Investors Association (CIREIA).

I'm sure this also comes with a lot of it's own hassles that can't really be accounted for.The management companies are charging 8% of gross rents collected.
