Well there's a reason they screen their borrowers, secure their loans with a first position trust deed/mortgage and charge a small fortune to make such a loan.

Other people will charge you way more for a new construction ADU or Reno for the home.

What I do for my units with shared meters is I charge 50% flat to each tenant which prevents waste I get no issues with any waste due to this but the ones that share electric bills do get many complaints due to the size of the bill.

Like @Nicholas L. said, maybe look within a reasonable driving distance from where you live, is there any city or state where you have family or friends that live there where you could travel to frequently and they could keep on the property for you or somewhere you visit a lot.  

Usually the lender will charge an extension fee to keep the same rate.

The P&L isn't going to tell you that, you need to see the Balance Sheet.Put it simply, if an investor decided to hire someone like me to start handling their books and have to gather their financial statements, I would be charging an arm and leg to put it correctly.

How are you only getting 8% VRBO charges?

The time it takes for the draws from tenants and then the ACH transfer to you leaves you getting pain on the 7th or 8th of the month, the $1 ACH transfer fee is an annoyance that has drawn some complaints that are as petty as the fee feels, the new tenant application features are sub-par, and I'm not sure how well it properly informs tenants of the additional charge for credit cards as I got panicked texts about the added fee from a tenant already going through some hardship.

I have heard SOMETIMES family will only charge 4-5%. 

What are some of the best techniques to shut down those who protest against landlords who want to charge high rates in a neighborhood facing gentrification?
