For 75 dollars a month, do they do things like physically collect rent for you? 

Also, would I need a separate bank account for the rental income collected?

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 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).

After it sits for 4 days (to let all the germs die)I've been pondering on collecting more than first months rent or increase security deposit or prepaid rents till everything is calmed down. 

If you  are interested in the same thing for macon-bibb starting next week,  post up so I know to let the data collection begin! 

But, longer-term, it seems crazy to think that multiple months will pass in a row where landlords are unable to legally enforce rent collections or evict AND have to pay mortgages and that this will be an ongoing reality.

I think that there are a lot of remedies available to help get rent collected in these very challenging times and there are 30 days in the month to get the rent collected.  

You cannot lose with real estate today, you get to sit at these distressed levels and collect dividend checks from the companies. 

Should I collect the same amount as he collects in commission before profits are split?

So I wouldn't have even considered this applicant.Also, keep in mind that while it's possible the applicant is concerned about identity theft, it's just as likely (if not more) that they're not providing you their SSN because they're hiding something (i.e. bad credit, collection accounts, evictions, etc) and they don't want you to find out.
