It's been that way since they started putting damper controllers and electronic ignition on them.

I purchased the property from a house flipper that made it look good on the surface, but failed to repair a lot of the internal things like fixing flooring/plumbing/HVAC issues.

Intern with developers and go to school. 

And you can likely yield higher rents without utilities included as folks do not always fully internalize those costs when looking for a new place to live.

Would anyone be willing to share their brokers training plan for new agents? Key components may include time and duration along with key learning objectives broken down into categories. Thank you in advance.

The reasons it is not shared are many some are because of the credit agency itself, others are due to liability: 1) All agencies do not allow it to be shared with any other parties which do not have access to the system; owners will typically argue that they can pull the credit themselves via trans union, etc. and that is true but a few things here; as an owner you are also NOT allowed to share the credit report even with these types of systems - the only exception is if a Tenant delivered to you or your agent their own credit report 2) Some (depending on) verification agencies require a secure method to store, send and/or destroy the credit report — Do you have a secure method to receive the report electronically?

I have two rents coming to market shortly and I’ve been looking for the best small-landlord friendly, user friendly, cost-effective, method of electronically accepting and submitting rent payments to the credit bureaus.

I'm interested in making them an offer internally before it is listed - does anyone have any experience in this sort of matter?

Another is Stone International.  

@Kaden Keller it’s now permissible in most states to surcharge the cost of accepting payment electronically.
