My rental has a lot of extra space outside around the house to consider doing a ADU build and create additional rental income.  

Otherwise, look at side jobs you can do to earn extra money. 

As an extra level of protection You could try and save up a few months of what the potential mortgage will be to give you peace of mind. 

This works well for wholesalers who sell deals to flippers, and flippers or investors can benefit even more by going the extra mile to generate their own off-market leads.

After he implemented the RUBS, he actually reduced the rent a bit to enable the user to adjust to the new extra billing.  

They quoted an umbrella policy for $200 extra, which is very reasonable.From my limited understanding of insurance policies, if I have the second-home policy with home sharing endorsement (personal liability $1M) plus an umbrella for $2M, then I should have about the same coverage I get from Proper, even in the unlikely event of an off-premise liability lawsuit. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Because I wanted that extra money for real estate.

I don't think I would add extra cash into the deal to buy down the rate, if you have extra cash I would consider doing a 25% down payment, that will usually get you a better rate/terms.

If it's internal then good luck getting them to share the invoice because it's not uncommon for extra hours to be billed for profit or when handyman hours are short that week.Scope:  What was the scope that they repaired?
