They don't really want a market opinion, they've developed statistics that they want comps to fall within, regardless what the market delivers.

When I used to sell way back in the day when i wasn't yet an agent, despite the 'Principals Only' warning boldly plastered all over my FSBO listings, agents nevertheless lined up at my doors with the usual pitch even when notified in writing to cease communication, still wanting ERTS, throwing fits and all, sometimes even disrupting my open houses under the guise of bringing 'buyers ready to sign' that were 'on their way'  yet never showed.Granted over those years, there were 1 or 2 out of dozens upon dozens agents who were up for the challenge to compete with my own offers, but most others were just too greedy or whatever and just would reiterate the holdover clause like parrots, pretending to not understand holdover clause is why exclusive agency without right to sell remains a viable compromise and formidable challenge to truly measure up to.have you as investors (and/or as agents) ever had similar gripes with stubborn/aggressive agents who yet weren't up for the challenge competing with the owner(s) themselves to find the best offer that successfully closes?

Do you pull crime statistics?

Go ahead and name one legitimate reason that you think that this person is statistically more likely to cause issues than any other random tenant. 

Hopefully somebody who is closer to you geographically could help you out on that.As far as spreadsheet calculations, I use lots of if/then formulas and I set it up like so:Living Room Dimensions :   15      20        = b2*c2Item       Required           Price                 Calculated Estimate        Actual   Over/UnderFridge          Yes              $900               If B2=Yes,C2,0                     $872.62    =e2-d2Carpet (sq ft) Yes            $3.75               If B3=Yes, c3*(bold above),0 $4625.00  =e3-d3Tile (sq ft)      0                $5.50               If B4=Yes, d48(bold above),0  $0               =e4-d4This allows me to quickly go through column B and choose yes/no and have it calculate materials for each room based on dimensions I've entered in a list above.  

My form says non-refundable several times including big, bold letters at the top.Lease signing is when I hand over the keys, they hand over one months rent (regardless of the date) and the full security deposit in check or money order (only!)

Hi, I added some notes below in BOLD Quote from @Edward Kanive: Hello,2.

Sacramento Housing Alliance Executive Director Darryl Rutherford cited statistics showing that 50% of families in Sacramento County meet the federal classification of "low income."

Do you guys have statistics for default rates for the overall platform or by state?

Long term failure is what you will statistically expect.
