The USPS is not reliable and I am searching for another way to collect rent payments. Does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to collect rent electronically?

We manage rental properties and set our tenants up on ACH so their account is debited each month on 1st of month.

We (as owner/agent) have received several solid applications on a rental. To curb the calls, emails, etc I\'d like to put it in OP status. My question is; there are several couples applying all with their own agent. How do I select Selling Agent on the OP section when there are several different agents representing different applicants?

You have to wait until you choose an application to make it OP and note the selling agent. You can put in your agent remarks (only agents can see) that you have multiple applications and tell CSS that there are no more showings.

Pros and cons to a lease back or delay closing for a cash buyer who doesnt need to move in right away, but seller may need a little time to move (less than one month.)

Typically everyone wants to close as soon as possible. Sellers get their funds, Buyers now own the home! Sellers then become a \"tenant\" and move out at the end of the Temporary Sellers Lease. This is only if the Buyer is willing to work with them. These types of agreements are typically set up when negotiating the initial offer and not mid-stream. The Buyer does not have to agree to this and can force the Seller to close/provide possession per the contract or the Seller is in default. To get this agreement worked out the Buyers may want something in return so be aware.\n\nTo have this work out the Sellers may pay rent, a deposit per the lease terms...maybe they don\'t. I believe it is a win/win to close as scheduled and do this temporary lease. Make sure all insurance is in place for the new homeowner and the Sellers/Tenants will need some renters insurance as well. \n\nPS: The opposite is true with a Buyer\'s Temporary Lease. Due to liability, loan not being approved, and a host of other issues is it NOT a good idea to let the Buyer move into a home before the closing/funding.\n\nMark McNItt\nMarkKnowsHouston.com\n832-567-4357\nBernstein Realty
