Pay off the highest interest debts or consolidate into a lower interest rate.

The voucher program typically determines the amount they’ll pay based on their calculations, and you don’t necessarily need to lower your listed price for utility allowances.

I've tried the lower 6-7% PMs and usually you'll either pay mark ups on repairs (what you've noted) or pay extra fees (i.e. labor hours, extra calls) that you may or may not notice. 

Note that active income isn't the same thing as non-passive income, it's lower bar that just requires that it's a business activity that isn't just entirely passive. 

For more expensive properties you'll be wanting to pay a lower interest rate and doing short/mid term rentals.

Instead of $500 off the first months rent, have you considered lowering the rent by $40 dollars per month?

If you can come up with an extra 1.5% and finance with a conventional loan you have none of those downsides, a lower monthly payment and PMI only until you hit 20% equity

I do not have to do anything right now, I just need to learn, wait for the right opportunities, or create them - for example by trying to use subject to and take over someone else's payments who locked in a lower interest rate from a few years ago.
