I have taken all my taxes and insurance out of escrow, and I run them through credit cards to rack up points, so I pay a lot of bills every year.3.

You should be able to get rid of that sign up fee of 3k and have only the monthly charge.

A lot of property managers will charge you more to manage section 8 properties because they require a lot more effort. 2.

First, don't use REI Reply, it's just a white-labelled/private-agency version of GoHighLevel (the actual provider of the CRM) that they just mark up and charge you extra for everything you do (every text, email, etc is 2-10x more expensive than just linking twilio/mailgun to your GHL account, etc).With that out of the way, you can get to making workflows.

I charge 150 cleaning fee so this doesn't take away from my profits.

I don't think a gift card is necessary at this point, but if you can exchange addresses and phone numbers that would be great.Think like a neighbor....they are going to be worried about parties, noise, trash, etc.

If that's the case, you would charge rent + utilities + water or just lump it into one rent fee.One thing to keep in mind is that friends often bail on deals like this once you get it so you have to be prepared to have to figure it out if you get the house and he isn't interested.

We have some credit card debt we are hyper focused on paying down , and 34K in my student loans (not touching currently due to SAVE plan with the zero percent interest).

My local dmv has 4 free charging spots.

The agency, of course, is trying to maximize its resources, so would love to have you charge less rent.If your focus was primarily on gaining excess rent, keep in mind that there is a reason many landlords will not take vouchers.
