In a perfect situation, the payment will still be delayed (even if by hours) using this additional system.And secondly, many of these vendors have "clawback" provisions where, in their terms of service, you give them permission to go back into your account - even weeks after the fact - and reverse a deposit that was made by your tenant.My system is simple, allows for tenants to pay through multiple means, and does not cost me anything extra.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

Like maybe I could pull enough out from heloc on primary residence to pay off debt and then rent out my primary and use the extra cash to payoff heloc and then do another heloc once the original one is paid off.

Is the ROI worth the extra cost?  

Purchase price: $82,077 Cash invested: $50,000 Sale price: $275,000 Fix & Flip mobile home with extra lot.

Is the extra headache really worth it? 

A motivated nosey neighbor might try to make an appt to see the property, but in general that doesn't happen too often and agents don't want to waste their time with time-wasters like that.

The tenants have paid and if someone is thinking about moving out then an extra surcharge that hits if they aren't out in time for us to turn the place for a lucrative AirBNB short term rental can help massage the move out timing.That said with MTR we do not have the cleaning costs that eat up a lot of STR gross, and its lower hassle in some ways.  

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Tons of double sided tape used which results in a fair amount of extra effort to restore (most cases paint comes right off the wall requiring patching sanding etc, some cases Good-off was effective.
