Hi,So far, we have our tenants mail their payments to the PO box- old school I know but it works for my tenants :) I save myself a trip to the bank though- with my bank's phone app I can deposit checks from anywhere, but it doesn't work with cashier's checks.My bank offers an online payment option, around $3 each transaction I believe, but I just signed up to accept payments via Intuit, they only charge $.50 per transaction and will update in quickbooks automatically.

Once property is leased, this agreement is automatically extended until the tenant procured by "XXXX" Brokers, LLC moves out"What is the best route to terminate this property manager and keep the current tenant who wants to renew.

I use maybe 2k of that, and I never use credit to pay for anything, just charge the card and pay it off automatically each month.Can anyone think of a way to utilize these (what I think are) outrageous terms?

I was sort of fearful of offending the broker and somehow losing out on this house, so I didn't question her further when she told me that the amounts are automatically filled in and that she can't change them.

then there are unknown variables such as municipal requirements, tenant complaints, tenant damage to unit, vandalism of an empty building, freeze damage, the list goes on and on.Welcome to the lending world, which is not quite as simple and automatically profitable as most people think.

You can use their online kitchen design to layout it out and then it automatically calculates your inventory supply checklist and price.

Here is one thread but not the one I was looking for.http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/102/topics/65246--automatic-stay-for-tenant-that-just-filed-bankruptcy-

And if someone sneaks a washer/dryer into the unit, I suppose I could look the other way.The electric, water and cleaning costs are very high for the laundry room, and for 6 smaller units, I am not convinced a laundry room is automatically warranted.

I like the automatic payments but I don't like the rent amounts so I tend to say no unless they know their voucher amount and it will cover the rent.That being said, I agree with above comments - NO EVICTIONS!

Also, the increase is not automatically the full 2% unless rates rise substantially, for example.Because you are looking to move in the next few years it might be more expensive to refinance at this point vs. risking potential rate increases.As far as paying down principal, that will reduce your loan balance.
