@Tony Guardado I'd also recommend you to test a few platforms (request a demo or a free trial).
Buildium, Appfolio and TenantCloud are pretty good software systems with a great functionality.

@Account Closed I've been using it for about 2 years.
Well, I wish the transaction processing time was faster.

@Account Closed I use TC Payments powered by Dwolla (through TenantCloud Standard Plan): no transaction fees required, the tenant's one time set up fee is only $2 or something.
I never tried other options but I'm pretty sure there are a few services out there that would meet your needs. Good luck!

Buildium is great for landlords with multiple properties but it costs 50$/mo. For small landlords, Tenant Cloud is the way to go since it offers a lot of free stuff. Rentler also has a free version and a great listing option.
You check out homepages of every software just to find out what functionality meets your requirements.

I have a few tenants and some of them were not able to provide April's rent so I waived it. To my surprise, today I received the full rent amount from them. I guess I have the best tenants!

@Luke Carl Hello there!
I've been using TC for a couple of years already.
When paying with a credit/debit car, there's a convenience fee of 2.7% per transaction. I'm not sure who's responsible for the fee. You should double check in the Help Centre.
Tenantcloud lease signing process is pretty simple but consists of a few steps. Also you can require E-signature, customize the agreement, edit it and share with the tenant.
You can then keep track of all the details of the document inside the system.

I use RentPrep for background and credit checks. It's the system offered by my PM software.

Hello!
Not sure if I can help you with a boilerplate message but if you're a TenantCloud user, you can use Property Message board to send messages to the tenants of the same property. It's a pretty useful tool that saves a lot of time when you need to send multiple messages at once.

My choice is TenantCloud. Never used anything else so it's hard for me to compare.
