Yes, with AppFolio you may pay your balances online using a credit card, debit card, or your bank account. The fees vary. As of publishing this, bank account payments are $2.99, debit card payments are $9.99, and credit card payments are a percentage of the sale. We recommend avoiding paying via credit card if possible to avoid the high fees.

If your account is delinquent and we have filed with the magistrate, you will be switched to “Certified Funds Only”. You will need to mail or bring in a money order or cashier’s check, or you may also bring in cash (please don’t mail cash!). Once your account is caught up, you will be able to make online payments again.

If you are employed as a W2 wage earner (you work for someone and get a paycheck), you will need to supply your last four pay stubs. If you are self-employed, or work as a 1099 contractor, we prefer your last tax return (page 1 only). We will also accept your last THREE bank statements (page 1 that shows total deposits, withdraws, etc.) for the account used for your business or 1099 income.

Because of the way our program is structured, we do not allow a co-signer to guarantee rent unless they plan to live there and plan to purchase the home with you. The goal is home ownership, if you do not have the income required to pay the rent, you won’t be able to get a mortgage to purchase the property.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is required to setup and use online payments?
    Online payments are either electronic checks or credit card transactions. For E-Check you need an active checking or saving accounts Routing and Account numbers to setup the service. For Credit Card you need an active credit card with an available balance to cover the charge.
  2. I submitted a payment and want to cancel, what do I do?
    Please contact your bank or credit card company immediately to stop any payment.
  3. Once I schedule an auto payment, can I change the date the payment will submit?
    No, once an auto payment is scheduled on a certain date each month, the only way to change that date is to edit the auto pay and delete it (scroll down the page), then re-create the auto pay for the correct date.
  4. Can I see my complete payment history once I am in the portal?
    Yes, you can see a full history of all payments, both made in person and online.

The most common forms of documentation people provide for income verification are:

  • The 4 most recent pay stubs
  • The 3 most recent bank statements
  • A tax return from within the last 2 years

Additionally, under rare but certain circumstances we can accept letters of employment, investment or cryptocurrency account statements, and other documents showing proof of income or assets.

Yes, awards letters such as social security income (SSI), disability, and others are considered viable sources of income if documentation can be provided.

All our homes are on a “first-come, first-serve” basis for the first approved applicant(s) that have the full move-in amount and decide they want the home. We are unable to hold any of our homes until you are approved, have the full move in amount, and complete the paperwork.

We do not have any properties to rent, we only have homes for people who want to own their own home. If you are just looking to rent a property for a year or two, we most likely are not going to be the best fit for you and your family.

Any utility bills are ultimately your responsibility. Lienable bills like water or sewage may be kept in our name to ensure their prompt payment, and in those instances the bills will be uploaded to your account for you to reimburse us.
