Also the Miami-Dade County website a has nice property appraiser interface, assuming your in that part of Florida.http://www.miamidade.gov/pa/Best Chip

First off, why is there such a need for bird dogs or jobbers (I read theyre virtually the same thing) if people can just browse websites?

Yodlee has consistently been a better infrastructure with a far worse interface.

I've already browsed BP and from what I understood there is nothing you can do , and no money to be made, other than a short sale.

It does not have the bells and whistles of the paid services, but it allows us to interface with our tenants the way we want to and manage our accounting and maintenance requests at a level that was not available (or user-friendly enough) from any of the 3rd part vendors I've reviewed.From the various online software we've demo'd within the past year, we were close to going with Buildium or RentecDirect but ultimately decided something proprietary would serve us better long-term.

The link @Steve Babiakposted has pretty much all the info you need but if you want the primary source it looks like an "unofficial" version is § 250.511a and § 250.511b at https://govt.westlaw.com/pac/Browse/Home/Pennsylva...One idea I don't think was posted yet, that I might do if I was in your state, is to get a separate CHECKING account and use it just to hold the security deposits.As for the # of accounts, I'd say match your operating account(s) - if you have one operating checking account per property then have one security deposit checking account per property.

I've had Intuit recommended but it seems like you need Quickbooks as the interface.

If you haven't done so yet, you can browse the Podcasts and find those that deal with financing, etc.

Since I haven't had to deal with a meth lab house (amazingly, because I've had hundreds of chances to have been stuck with one) I would engage with a skilled vendor and interface with the city to make sure the steps to remediation are well understood and the costs quantified before proceeding.

I like Cozy's interface, but the long payment times is troubling.
