Try and find a different bank that has no charge cashiers checks.

They will shop what you have and need over various outlets much faster than you can do yourself.

As long as the rent is paid and they are quiet I don't care.Now when people get in hard times I find 3 people turn into 10 people living under one unit 2 beds,2 1/2 baths.The problem is the people that were qualified credit and criminal are on the lease and the others are not.So the unknown people have not been qualified to see if they will be a problem or not.More people wear down the units faster,cause noise with extra vehicles,and parking issues.Our water is not sub-metered and is paid by us the landlord.Extra people taking a shower,flushing the toilet,washing clothes,cooking etc. runs up the water bill.Water company says people use about 60 gallons a day on average according to statistics.I know there is fire code limits but I was thinking of having in lease max of 4 people and anything over that is 50 dollars per month per person.This would cover extra water bill and help with extra turning costs with the heavier traffic usage.

I am planning to start offering credit card payments as well, but the tenant would have to pay the transaction charge for that.

I nearly had a heart attack but after rereading your email I could see you were still in charge.

they charge huge penalty fees for minor infractions knowing someone will have to pay.

No charge to the investor.

What do they charge?

Have a clause in their lease that states something like "On the 6th day of the month, if the rent has not been paid, the tenant agrees to have their credit card charged for the total rent amount, plus a $50 late fee, as well as any credit card processing charges."

I researched the property at the Court House and found out National City charged off her account.
