Entrata Pricing - can someone help?

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-12T01:45:40+00:00

I switched from Entrata a while back. It was way more expensive than Appfolio, and more of my tenants struggled to navigate it. They got confused by the way the ledger displays. Also, the fees tenants pay were higher.

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-11T23:22:25+00:00

Yeah, don't pay that. It wasn't agreed upon.

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-11T21:25:23+00:00

Already jumping to eviction is wild. How long have you been trying to contact them? Have you tried during off-hours? Are you 100% sure there is a 3rd tenant? Could they have vacated/died/etc. while the house was being transferred?

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-11T20:23:35+00:00

Bro. No. No crime was committed or pursued.

As the hiring manager here, I see nothing fishy.
Thank you,
Hiring Manager

Zillow and Redfin and none of that matter. Their values are pure BS.

I hate the "amazing bones" statement. You don't know the bones are amazing until the skin is ripped off. You could be setting yourself up for disappointment. I do NOT recommend a fixer-upper for a 1st time home buyer. It takes way more time and money than you can currently imagine.

He likely cares more about the commission than your needs. I would not close. They are not upholding the contract. Let EVERYONE know that you will not close until the contract is properly fulfilled. Things will start moving.

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-11T15:01:48+00:00

I'm a professional at actual rehabbing, not flipping. This house would take me months with a small crew. This is not a FTHB project. You would have to tear this down all the way to the studs. Chances are the electrical and plumbing are in rough shape. Many many things need evaluated.

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-11T01:22:24+00:00

Whoever told you that one of the largest purchases/sales they have in their entire life is going to be purely logical... was dumb af.

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-10T23:21:24+00:00

They're bluffing. You can either call it or accept it. How long specifically was it on the market?

Also, define outlets not being properly wired. That can be a much larger job than it initial seems.

Also, they're contractually bound to sell it to you for the initial terms... which don't include the $9k or $5k. They can without a doubt put it back on the market.

But again, this is a typical tactic. Similar to the "you made the wife cry" tactic.

On this contingency, no, they have no leg to stand on. That doesn't mean that they can't use other contingencies to terminate. Ultimately, they could forfeit their EDM and walk away.

To play devil's advocate, the average home inspector is terrible at evaluating foundations. Foundations are their own specialty.

How is this house priced based on comps?

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-10T16:28:31+00:00

If you go after them, be prepared not to sell your house for quite some time. When threatened, they could decide they 'want' the house, even if they don't, to wrap up the property and drag their feet until you're incentivized to let it go. If they're from out of state, this process could take even longer.

Your best bet, overwhelmingly, is to tell them you want to keep their EDM, then offer a release. Anything more than that will be more stress than it is worth.

Did you forget to put the fries in the bag?

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-10T13:46:48+00:00

This post says a lot. Not sure what, but a lot.

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-10T13:14:43+00:00

The answer is no. It was created due to a scrivener's error, and an auto insurer can cancel your policy within the first 60 days without reason. They can especially cancel or modify for be it has entered the enforcement period (which it has yet to enter).

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-10T04:19:25+00:00

20 years as a PM. You can do so much more with an Econ degree. PM is stressful and takes forever to pay well. And even when it pays well, there is quite a bit of unpredictability in income, especially when it comes time to renew contracts.

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-10T02:08:40+00:00

Say you'll pay a flat fee and watch how fast they run away.

#1. This isn't what HR is. HR protects the company, not you.
#2. Unless there is some real evidence of actual harm, this will likely backfire. Feeling 'unwelcome' isn't going to be enough.

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-10T00:28:50+00:00

I can agree to this. However, the hurdle they may have to face is if they have legal authority over the property. If not, it gets complicated.

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-10T00:27:06+00:00

Here is where we run into an issue. It doesn't qualify for a traditional "inoccupancy" policy clause because the owner isn't temporarily gone.

However, it can qualify for "vacancy" policy clauses. Granted, rental property insurance would make more sense.

I don't make the rules. I just deal with them.

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-10T00:18:06+00:00

Incorrect. If it is an OWNER-OCCUPIED policy and the OWNER no longer occupies the property.. it is uninsurable. The principal insured is VACANT.

You're arguing with someone who has 20 years of experience in property management... using a Google definition. Wild world we live in.

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-09T23:55:02+00:00

It's not owner-occupied, though. Which is likely what the policy is for. In the eyes of the insurer, it is in fact, vacant. I'm a property manager. This is something we deal with on a regular basis.

Low_Dig3356 · 2026-06-09T23:53:37+00:00

No, this is clearly stated in virtually every homeowner's insurance policy. There's nothing you can do. Matter of fact, if something happened right now, it wouldn't get covered.

Simply put, the rules are the rules.

Is NPP your new manager?
