(Had to pay them but was worth it) Tenant was not allowed to enter without me physically being there, and they had to schedule it this way worked out best for me less out-of-pocket.

I don’t use a physical application.

Regarding chasing down tenants, I highly recommend finding a demand for nonpayment of rent form used in your local area and physically posting that demand on your tenant's door whenever they do not pay rent within the grace period.

Unlike stocks, houses and apartments have a sort of emotional appeal given they're physically there.

I then asked her to please tell me the providers physical business address, twice and was not given ananswer.  

However if they require a physical inspection DO NOT LIE and say you live there mortgage fraud is an orange jump suit.New appraisal is not disclosed to your county tax assessor.

I unfortunately came out of Physical Therapy school with immense life altering debt.

@Jacob Hornberger we didn’t change the physical layout of our house (roofing/walls), but we did change it so that two rooms and a bathroom have been separated and changed to it’s own apartment space.

Second, you could pin the provider down on if it's possible to have a separate mailing vs. service address; most providers should have a way of doing this, since some physical service addresses don't have direct USPS service, and instead receive mail to a PO Box.Third, this is a bit more involved, but you can simply become regimented about not waiting for the mail (can we really trust USPS anyhow??).

If you choose to uphold this requirement on your listing please note, that if you elect to refuse a guest entry because they did not provide a physical ID it will be your responsibility to cancel the reservation.
