We don't charge application fees and you may not want to either if you think you want to be pickier than normal with your tenants living right above you.  

Add to that a progressive income tax framework that steps down as the state hits defined financial benchmarks — with a clear path toward zero over time — and the long-term math starts to look very different for operators and investors.Layer in financing conditions, too.

The initial contact, pre-screening, and time-line to complete an application says a lot about prospective tenants.

I started applying to development companies, brokerages, and property management companies, but it was difficult to hear back when I was only submitting online applications, especially with limited experience.What really helped me was calling the office to set an appointment to speak with the hiring manager, or, if I didn’t hear back, showing up in person with a resume and cover letter when I was home for breaks.

The Govstream pilot is designed to reduce errors at the front end by checking applications against city code, zoning rules, floodplain data, GIS mapping, and historic overlays before plans bounce back and forth for months.In simple terms: fewer surprises, fewer resubmissions, faster answers — with people still making the final decisions.This also feels long overdue.

So much of what goes in to tenant screening is not what a PM reads on paper but from sitting down face to face with prospective applicants.

Do an application, go through the first round of underwriting, maybe even order an appraisal depending on your timeframe. 

If you go apply for a new loan - that loan is still held against you (there are some scenarios where it can be removed on a future application after that new payor has paid on time for 12 months).
