They say I have full access to there submissions depart and all of there investors to post the properties I find.

If this company operates on such a shoestring that it cannot cover 9 days worth of submissions, it is not a company worth doing business with. 

This forum has soanked me into submission.

Luckily my vehicle was unlocked and I was able to beat the lock into submission with a trailer hitch of all things to regain access.  

Not being told otherwise, I had assumed that the contracts signed Wednesday "updated", for lack of better term, the agreement date.Wish they had all been done at once, but regardless, I wasn't sensing the urgency for the earnest money submission based on my agent telling me not to rush.

I am somewhat fortunate that the State of AZ legalized STR's in exchange for registration and submission of lodging taxes by Airbnb and Owners alike. 

Lately, they've been using online submission portals at the buyer agent's expense. 

My main desires for this would be payment portal, maintenance requests/tracking/communication, lease sending/submission/approval, prefer push notifications but at minimum text communication for payment reminders, maintenance info, and announcements. 

jandr is exactly right, I just never contemplated "pre-approval" aka"shopping the loan" as a bona fide system.I do my job, and then based on knowing the matrices HAVE a home for the loan based on familarity with lenders and their programs Before Submitting same.Lenders don't like(as a rule) multiple "submissions" while I know this was never mentioned by jandr, this is what 1 would be led to beleive.We don't submit partial or full packages to lenders (normally) for a "pre-approval", we submit them for FINAL approval, clearing of conditions, and funding.I have submitted contingent on credit, spoken w/head underwriters, etc., just prefer to not "shotgun" or even solicit the file unless 95-99% feedback from A/E/Underwriter is positive and we're just dealing with a specific exception to their guidelines...it is NOT wise (imho) to submit a "package" to either multiple lenders, nor to "partially submit" a file unless there is some specific issue w/the borrower/property that needs to be dealt with in advance of complete submission.

However, I would screen them all and choose the strongest applicant using their order of submission as a tie-breaker.
