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).

He’s charging us .5% interest per month(I know!)

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. 

My local dmv has 4 free charging spots.

. - What is your PMC charging for Tenant Placement?

I'm underwater with my mortgages and credit cards and bills.

If a co-host/PM is trying to charge you for questions that you definitely need to ask each potential candidate just to make sure they know what they are doing, RUN.

BTW there was no charge for this day for members of the club.I should have known there was more cost to be exposed to as far as an education (mentoring).
