I've got the idea to more positively incentivize my tenants to pay rent by the idea expressed in the following example:- If they pay any later than five days late, they pay base rent ($1,000) + fixed late fee (e.g., $150)- If pay on time without autopay, they pay base rent ($1,000) + "manual payment fee" (e.g., $25 or $50)- If they use autopay for timely payments, they pay just the base rent ($1,000)In the above example, you see that a discount of $25-50 was applied in the case that the tenant chooses to setup autopay to schedule on-time payments via a given PM software.Please let me know if any software comes to mind and also any feedback on the positive incentive idea.Thanks in advance!

Based on my research, several lenders stand out, but I’d appreciate firsthand experiences.Key Considerations:Loan Terms: Fixed rates up to 35 years, interest-only periods (e.g., 10-year interest-only options), and non-recourse structures.Competitive Rates: Recent transactions show rates ranging from 2.69% to 4.65% depending on LTV (55%–80%) and property type.Lender Specialization: Some lenders excel in specific areas:Greystone and Walker & Dunlop lead in Fannie/Freddie volume and large-scale refinancing.Arbor Realty Trust is praised for smaller-balance loans and flexibility.CREFCOA offers streamlined refinancing with 45–60 day closings and cash-out up to 80% LTV.HUD 223(f) loans provide 35-year fixed terms, ideal for stabilized properties.Questions for the Community:Have you worked with lenders like Greystone, Arbor, or Freddie Mac?

I didn't see anywhere that you posted what they said ARV was, or what you think it is based on comps...the County assessment has no bearing whatsoever on value.
