I for one plan on holding my course and rejecting applicants with evictions on their record especially if it were actually enforced by the courts vs. just filing. 

You simply process the applications.

The application is all online and they do the background and credit check for $40 - charged to the tenant.

On the other hand, if you are in a market where housing is tight, applicants just need photos to convey enough information that they apply or schedule a showing.$175 sounds high, I would advise you to shop around.

Just speaking from a personal standpoint, I wouldn't necessarily move forward with the,m but also, there are other factors to take into consideration; if they're really strong applicants and dog breeding is just another revenue stream for them, turn to the lease conditions/terms.

The application of the late fee however, has nothing to do with the fact that it is still late on the 1st.

If it’s simply a renewal a simple 1 page document that says on this date, the lease for the property at this address is changed in the following ways....New expiration date, if applicable new rent...Etc...This ignores the problem but fixes it.

(marketing, tenant showings, tenant screenings, application process, eviction, etc.) 

The feedback from our lender partners is that in general, they are more comfortable taking the lower down payments on some of the projects in our area.  10% is the lowest I have seen in the condo market in this area & the condo project has to be in ideal shape in all of those areas, as well as the borrower.  20-25% is the norm and up to 30% on some of the riskier projects/applicants. 

Someone needs to build an interface from AppFolio and Buildium into QB.No tracking of which rents were received or not receivedNo tracking of proper security deposit application to expense reimbursement or lost rentNo tracking of loss to leaseNo tracking of vacancy costNo split of repairs for expenditures over and under the $2500 de minimis limitNo tracking of re-positioning costs vs operating expensesExpense misclassifications by the PMKeying summary information may work for a few units but not at a larger scale and not for managing the PM and the business.
