Hello, I'm a Software Engineer and Options Trader, I first got into investing about three years ago when I started learning how to trade options.  

One prospective applicant seemed great in person - very friendly, polite, punctual, gainfully employed, etc.  

One of your "requirements" is going to have experience and turning in your loan application minimum requirements is to turn in an organized loan application.  

For example, what service should I use to collect applications?  

We just put the words on the second address line and no matter where the tenant pays - on-line from our software, the 7-11 system, etc, they will always be guaranteed to have these words on their receipt.  

Going to a funding platform who thinks their job is to reject 99.9% of applicants because of their resource constraints is a recipe for failure.  

That software would probably work fine.  

The rules you hear about (50%, 1%, 2%) are not applicable today in most markets.

Also if you purchase a property that has a rent controlled tenant in it...they are grandfathered in even if it is not applicable to you.I would stay away from Takoma Parks multis as TP has rent control beginning at either 1 or 2 units, and it is much much more restrictive than DCs.  

This question is for the landlords and property managers that are currently using software...What is an absolutely necessary feature you need from your software?
