If you advertise, that step one in the funnel, if an applicant contacts you electronically, that step two in the funnel, if you pre screen, that is step three in the funnel, if you check credit and or background search, that is step four in the funnel, if you deny some applicants, that is step five in the funnel, if you select one applicant to lease too, that is step six in the funnel.You can enter the data just once, in only one system, then click a button for each step, using a decision tree you define!

Hi Dave,  Would it be possible that the agent could place a Supra or other electronic lockbox on the home, even if he charges an additional fee for this? 

Do you have monthly landscaping maintenance, utilities, etc?

You may also want to note the location of the tank and be careful about landscaping.  

Now with the swing to low the 40's for a barrel of oil the Housing market in Houston is providing a very respectable landscape for investors to continue to make returns.

Just curious how other landlords handle landscaping and lawn care for single family homes?

There of course are going to be other fees such as lease renewal, landscaping, snow removal, eviction and repairs.

Why not just do that and pay the contractor with a check (paper or electronic)?

Even though my standard MG leases have a CAM provision that include base year taxes/insurance and tenants pay increases as well as maintenance, landscaping, etc., I actually strike this out!  

That will layout the whole landscape for you so you can decide what interests you and where you want to get started digging deeper.Then start listening the the BiggerPockets podcast with @Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner.
