I use Buildium, has been working fine for us. I would suggest take a look at it. The pricing works well as well and gives you all options to grow.

We use buildium and they have rent collection capabilities, which works great as it automatically adjusts the rent ledger and works well with rent collection reports.

I have run into a similar issue and questioned my leasing agent that how did he allow for this. But then let it go as she is a good tenant in all respect and had a small dog. So we did a pet addendum, took more deposit and increased the rent. Also added a clause in the addendum that we will be conducting a quarterly inspection and any time if we find any damages to the unit. She will be responsible for taking care of those.

I just got a call from tenant saying there was a small fire when they were trying to seal a hole? What do to in such situation? Should tenant be responsible for the damages? Should they be given a written warning? What are some good practices around this situation? How to prevent something like this in future?

You gave them credit for that particular issue already and they were sapposed to have it handled; yet they closed anyway... Anything further you might want to consult with an attorney to prepare for possible litigations over this. My coin.
I am reaching out to an attorney too, to make sure I am covered. I would assume the insurance should cover them too for such an incident.

I personally like to stand behind what I sell and would work on a solution. I've gone behind closings many times and fixed things that weren't caught on an inspection and I didn't know where wrong. Its the right thing to do, you are pitching a rehabbed house, it needs to work right.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I agree, I have used the best materials and have not cut corners anywhere while rehabbing the property, I stand by the product and want to do the right thing. I think I am going to reach my attorney as well to make sure I am covered. I just want to make sure that out of goodness I do not put myself in a precarious situation.

Just completed my first flip and sold the house on day one. Now with recent heavy rains the basement got flooded after closing. As per buyer there are signs of flooding before and they claim that I tried to hide that condition, but I never lived in the house and had no idea about any water issues. As part of buyer inspection it was identified that there were some signs of water seeping in and we gave some credit to buyer to fix that issue. Looking for advise on how to respond to this situation.
