Hey BP I have questions I'd like to consider myself a strict person when it comes to screening my tenants recently I have a few section 8 applicants.

STR's within city limits are extremely rare due to zoning and density requirements, just outside city limits with the county is feasible but can take six months to process the license application. 

Things I've got down to minimal effort or fully automated: * Rent, security deposit, and fee collection* Basic accounting and tax packet creation* Listing vacancies* Lease signing* Applications, credit, and background checksThings I'm still dealing with directly ad-hoc or don't have a well defined process or solution in place for:* Requests and communication with tenants* Finding and coordinating service providers for maintenance and repair work* Scheduling showings and getting prospective tenants to make their appointments* Tenant turnover for move in and out* Keeping up with legal changes and lease template updates* Setting rent amounts* Lease enforcement - tenants are responsible for things like yardwork, routinely get letters from the city about weeds / tall grass, etc.Questions for the group:* What am I missing if I were to make out a checklist of an "automated property"?

Seems that someone who is VPBD would not be at this level of detail - but I don’t know how they work.In my research I found:(1) MW506AE is the application for exemption the comptrollers need regarding a 1031x, and needs to be sent in 21 days prior to closing.(2) MW506NRS is the withholding exemption.I think my CPA will handle #2 but #1 is essentially the main form in the whole timeline.I understand what these forms are and would like to get a title company that is also versed in them and not guess what needs to be done.My QI already said they will not fill it out and I guess doesn’t have all the information required for it.

@Vasudev Kirs I don’t know that the application sent out to the prospective tenants will divulge your personal name but I suspect for the purposes of doing the actual background checks MySmartMove may need an actual contact person with real information.

It charges tenants $1 but you can use desktop or mobile application.

They did ask for a copy of my ID during the application process. 

Once we are done there we will head back over to this house and work on the 2nd/3rd floor apartmentLastly, we accepted an applicant and collected a deposit for the 1st floor apartment after only 1 day on the market. 

I myself am a Spanish speaker and so communicating with them is not a problem but I am looking  for a lease agreement and application that I could use that are translated into Spanish. 

Would love to hear from several of you on this as I do feel this is a really relevant and applicable topic in the seller self serviced arena
