Many people mistakenly think that the agent is just there to open the door and collect a check.

We use property radar and when I was in the business I had my own custom data base that I tracked every NOD in my MSA... from every source.. again the only way to beat the competition was to be better than them.. 

This is the same as when I used to collect checks, if I received check by due date it was considered on time even if it took me a few days to deposit.

Using all of the resources in tandem was as close to RePropFinder as I could find and has given me reliable data to hot markets to avoid pitfalls.

But I am also witnessing as well as organizing a newer more scalable model providing for a more cloud-based, remote, less-than-full service--model that is appealing for a large amount of investors and property owners who are interested in receiving many of the traditional services (rent collection, bookkeeping, leasing, noticing, maintenance coordination, answering phones, etc.) but who would be willing to pay about 1/2 the monthly fee in exchange for participating by physically being present to allow access, showings, servicing notices, etc.

At Portland's average rent it would take about two years to collect enough extra rent to cover the fee.The felon thing is dumb too.

He had 3 things in collection totalling $600 for phone and electric bills but nothing else.

I’m seeing if there is a better way then me collecting the full amount, and paying them off on the side.

Does  anyone has any metrix/data on the class information for various DFW suburbs ? 

I pay 16% management fee, but that includes all maintenance calls, snow removal, lawn care, rent collection, evictions, inspections, rental-ready, picking up trash, cleaning.
