I get an email alert each time a deposit is made.I prefer not to use any third-party vendors (Zelle, etc.) because firstly, that creates another link in the chain that can break down between the tenant's deposit and my bank account.

If not you might be stuck with the work and the commitment to doing it since the city would be the ruling party.

A little background about me, I have just over 200 doors in my current portfolio and our company manages just over 250 doors for third party investors in addition to those. 

Upon verification, the Landlord will pay you $2,000 cash, and both parties will sign a receipt acknowledging that your account has been settled.

You could get the 3rd party processing fee removed by working with a broker/lender that does in house processing.Seems you're being gouged for the appraisal review and admin fee...that's ridiculous. 

I did but will only share with interested parties.

So, all parties over 18 need to sign the lease.If they are going to sign the lease, why wouldn't you screen them?

In most cases due to the transaction sizes, there's very little margin for these 3rd party vendors (particularly brokers, property managers and contractors).

The seller was not getting much traction from the other interested parties.

Hey Carlos,Welcome to the party!
