For smaller landlords, I surveyed my membership at Chicago Creative Investors Association and found that April collections were 94% on a 97% occupancy.

I stopped eating out, I quit cigarettes, I educated myself, I cancelled memberships I wasn't using or could go without, I stopped buying clothes that would eventually end up in a donation bin, and I stopped sitting on the couch when I wasn't at my W2. 

I love that I get forms that are created by the folks that know best what works :)for example :https://www.taa.org/membership...

. ~$550/year in Realtor membership dues and Triangle MLS fees are $150/quarter.8hrs CE is required every year you have your license - except your first year.

A few ideas....check social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, etc); Google search the tenant’s name (I once found an ex-tenant I was trying to serve with papers who was listed on an online professional membership roster with her work info); reverse Google search the phone number; have someone else call the number and pretend to be a customer, vendor or whatever is appropriate depending on the type of business. 

Their credit union "membership fee" - which sounded better than some fake "relationship," was only $5.00.  

You could contact the apartment association and ask if there is an affordable service included in the membership, perhaps.http://www.daaonline.org/Or is there a DE section on Bigger Pockets, where you could ask members there about how they handle this?

I managed in CA, and the owner I worked for had a membership to the local apartment association, but I much preferred the Nolo Press contracts and forms, so I used them instead with the owner's blessing.You might want to see if they have WA contracts/forms.  

If the company is an LLC, the members (owners) each get a percentage of the membership, that is basically non-transferable.

I have learned so much with BiggerPockets alone and I dont even have the full membership but will purchase to access the calculator and many other available resources that I am sure will be beneficial. $8k can be well spent in our first property for sure!
