Never trust anyone until the lease is signed and the money is in the bank.

It may not be so easy. There are wear and tear laws. Living in the home for 12 years, may mean these are your costs not theirs. Research your state laws.

I am considering switching to Rentalutions for the next property. Based on their website, it seems there are two advantages to cozy. First, it can sydnidcate to more websites such as craigslist and zillow. Second, there is a maintenance request portable as well. Of course the negative is related to the monthly fee. $25 for two units is pricey compared to cozy which is free.

You monthly charge should be FREE. Keep looking and you will find it.

Your lease is missing a stay-over clause. A clause that assesses a daily charge to stay-overs. You do this as these situation occur occasionally. The daily charge should be high enough to encourage using a hotel as a cheaper option.

FCRA forces landlords to seek investigation that has unreasonable costs and rules. Those costs must be borne by the consumer that FCRA protects.

This is a syndication. Each partner in the syndication controls the quality of the ad independently.

I currently self manage a small portfolio and use Cozy.co for rent collection. I have a new property about to go on the market for rent along with another one that will soon be vacant. I typically list these properties on Zillow, Trulia, Craiglist, etc.
I know that if I list on Zillow, it will syndicate across the Zillow platform. Craiglist is separate. According to a blog post, Cozy.co will syndicate to realtor.com in the near future. As the portfolio grows, it is a pain to manually enter listings on each of these sites.
My question, is there a online property management software that will not only do tenant screening and rent collection, but will syndicate listings across multiple platforms? I would love to post on one website and have it show up everywhere. I think Buildium does this, but at $60/month it does not make sense at this time.
Thank you for any input!
Matt, you won't need anyone's help or any software, It is free for you. Folks will tell you you must do this with them. Not true! Go here : http://www.zillow.com/rental-property-advertising/
