Hey Mark,
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! We're glad to hear you find our tools useful and appreciate your honest feedback regarding product improvement.
To ensure I'm not missing any of your concerns, I've addressed them in order:
1. The good news is you can route rent payments and security deposits to separate bank accounts! Additionally, if Avail processes the payment, the IRS requires that we include it as income received on the 1099-K. This is why you'll see security deposits as income received, and in these instances, we direct you to work with your Tax Professional on how to exclude these funds as income.
2. When extending a lease in the system, it updates the end date in Avail, however, this doesn't update the end date of the actual lease document. Since lease agreements are legally binding, the only way to legally change a lease once it's established is through the amendment process.
3. While we have pre-canned options for lead messages, you're correct in the fact that the system doesn't allow you to send mass lead messages. With that being said, I've passed some feedback to our development team about looking into a way to implement some kind of mass messaging feature.
If you have any questions or need anything clarified, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re always happy to help. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. We truly appreciate it!
