If Jesus came back and got into rentals NO, N-O-B-O-D-Y get's admin access into our system. 2) They want a standardized list for maintenance items so they know in advance what repairs would cost.Being a PMc I'd invite them to acquire any of the readily available construction estimating tools/software out there such as RSMeans, but would not take on such a task as building and maintaining such a database, honestly for any $, it's simply not what we do. 3) They want a copy of all invoices from contractors to us so they can verify we are not marking up more than promised.A-ok. 4) They want to be able to talk to our contractors before work is done (each time) so they can talk contractors down in price themselves.I'd be fine with this as long as they sign a waiver that they own any/all negative impacts that result from such including extended vacancy periods, vendor refusals of service necessitating there own self-search to secure amicable vendor etc etc.. 5) They mentioned that they pay around $300 for full paint in a 2-bedroom unit.... we do not have a contractor that will touch a full paint on a 2 bedroom for $300LMAO!

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.

When the California legislature passed tougher anti-crime laws in the 2000s, the legislators knew they wouldn't work (based on Justice Department statistics), but elected officials have to do what the voters want if they want to keep their jobs (assuming the Supreme Court is OK with the legislation).I believe each person is an individual and should be treated as such.
