@Troy S.This was new construction but the form I was referring to is applicable to renovations as well.Andresa LobraceRegarding who is responsible...I expect it comes down to the business relationship between you (the developer) and the builder you hired.

While we're on the topic, another great piece of software is TValue. 

I use that to collect the application fee so the tenant is already set up there when they need to start paying rent.

Does anyone have an application sample and a contract sample that I can use for Oklahoma? 

We share a similar path as my formal education/work history is in physics and software development and I too would like to eventually move away from that and run my own REI business full-time.  

I'm a passionate sales guy in software looking to jump into real estate investing.

Response rates aren't that high so you need a large sample size.2) Don't forget most people don't hear results until the 3rd-5th mailings so you need to stick to it3) Unless you're super small, you'll need software eventually or you'll ineffectively spend your time writing each letter individually, stamping, and mailing.

Make sure to keep you construction expenses organized using Quicken or other software and use TurboTax to file your tax returns.

I make the applicant pull and provide their own credit report with a recent date. 

I have open houses and take ALL applications for free.
