hey guys. how do people feel about the bigger pockets app?

My phone app crashed and it did not look like TFE original one posted.

The incoming tenant needs to fill out an app, pay the app fee, get screened before moving in.  

I miss some at times.3) Reports for cash flow / accounting / taxesNeed this for IRS reporting, etc. 4) Relatively cost effectiveUnder $30/month for sure. 5) Easy & quick to use.Some apps have needless layers of clicking to track simple data.

@Elizabeth Wilson is pretty much right.You can use both of them for free.For a long-term business, I recommend Wordpress.org because you install it on your own hosting server and you have full control.You can install plugins, which are like pieces of software or apps that adds extra functionality to your website and you can improve performance, etc.

My app crashed when I sent it so I'm not sure if it went through.

Eventually the cheapest units get taken off market to be used as storage, new development ie tear downs etc.Here are some articles:Recent Beacon study on economicshttps://caanet.org/app/uploads/2016/02/Jan2016_Ren...This is one by "The Economist" which is a popular economy magazine:http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/...A housing/planning and urban development website:http://marketurbanism.com/2016/04/02/rent-control-...Foundation for Economic Education:https://fee.org/articles/the-case-against-rent-con...Business Insider:http://www.businessinsider.com/does-rent-control-w...CEI:https://cei.org/blog/rent-control-why-it-so-badDaily News article: RECKLESS BILL TO REPEAL -PROPERTY RIGHTS UNDER ATTACK http://www.dailynews.com/government-and-politics/20170222/reckless-bill-to-repeal-limits-on-rent-control-will-make-housing-crisis-worse-susan-shelley

Yes they already paid the app fee to get "pre-approved" .

I hold 1-2 hour open houses and invite the 20-30 people who have called and emailed my listing. 10 show up, 5 fill out an app, 2 are qualified and I choose the one with the highest credit score and most money in the bank.

They can be canceled by the tenant at any point as well.Money Orders/Cashiers Check: These are considered safer than personal checks because you need to use verified funds to purchase them, however, although it's harder they can still be canceled before you deposit them and they are a burden for the tenant to get and for you to electronically deposit through most bank apps, which means you have to take a trip to the bank.
