Aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published to 10+ major sites, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening with comprehensive applications -- pulled reports from TransUnion, which include nationwide criminal background checks + credit checks + eviction history, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool, and maintenance tracking tool), some services also offer your tenants waived ACH fees and additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

I'm essentially asking for the ability to back out for any reason due to the complete uncertainty of the times.  

Don't let social distancing hinder your networking abilities!

Some services also offer you the ability to run your entire rental business online, and allow the tenants the additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

Sure, the current environment presents challenges but your ability to communicate your objective, strategy and overall thoughts on the situation should be able to attract the right capital.
