Cozy for Rental Applications and Collecting Rent

[Ray Realdine]

Hello everyone,

I made settlement on my first rental property today and I want to use Cozy as the platform for rental applications and even collecting rent.  My question for the BP community is: What do you do if the potential tenant is computer illiterate?  What strategies do you utilize for those folks who can't use a computer to apply online?  Any advice you can share is appreciated.

Thanks

@Ray Realdine it depends, does filtering for computer literacy work to your advantage or against you? That depends on the target tenant in your area. As far as access to computers, every public library has free access and anyone under the age of 40 grew up with computers in school. If your target is senior citizens, that could be an issue.

I have used the Cozy application and it is very fast, but not very thorough. I prefer my paper application just to get more information. The nice thing about Cozy is the credit/background check is really easy and the tenant pays for it with their own credit card. Cozy is great for collecting rent too.
