This was because PMC's wanted to make sure tenant's checks didn't bounce and it took time to enter everything into accounting ledgers manually to determine how much to send owners.Currently, software has made all this easier, but PMC's still need to wait at least 5 business days for ACH payments to clear.So, most PMC's still only pay owners monthly and in batch - meaning no matter when a rent payment is received, all owners are paid on the same day. 

For me: 3 weeks (15 business days) from application drop off to permit approval.  

I'd pay $200 just to have them inspect the work that week instead of waiting 20 business days, because I have to wait that 20 business day period for the permit and THEN schedule a CO with the SAME HOUSING AUTHORITY to receive a CO to rent.
