I’m curious to see how these bills will interact with the Beaches communities.

Rental Registration billed per unit $70 have to renew every  year 2.

@Robert Rixer, I don't know how creative these are, as many are common plays:Valet TrashFencing in first floor yardsProviding washer and dryers for added rentReserved, Covered parkingTech PackagesInternet and Cable contracts, with reimbursementsPayment Plan rents, with small service charge (i.e. bill 1/4 rent each week)Reserved Rental cabanas at poolPrivate pool party rental optionGolf Simulator in clubhouse - fee basedOn site, self serve car wash (quarter feeder style)Charged group fitness/personal training servicesGame room in clubhouse with monthly subscription for tenants (Xbox, Playstation, etc)Changing out high maintenance grass for astro turf or lower maintenance/lower water use shrubberyBut ultimately, I think a lot of NOI increases come from deep dive into understanding EVERY expense and finding ways to minimize them, and/or no outsource them.Train maintenance team on basic HVAC and appliance repairs (find way to get them licensed as needed)Buy paint sprayers for faster, easier turns versus having to hire a contract painter, and possibly repaint whole unit each timeStandardize all finishes, so you can buy in bulk, everything from hinges and door knobs to cabinets, paint colors, and light fixtures.Potentially get leasing people onto lower base salary with higher bonus potentialBulk/bundled insurance across portfolio (even better at scale is to self insure)Regularly test sprinkler systems for leaks.Non-NOI, but benefit to you: partner with insurance agency to get referral kickbacks from your tenant base for renter insurance.  

The Governors of Maryland and Montana both recently passed a series/package of housing bills.

I have 3 that I rent by the room that has more moving parts/bills etc, but I feel it’s super easy to do.

As an example, my personal home was tax assessed at $399,000 and my tax bill was $13,500 per year.  

If I am buying directly from a property owner, I sometimes not only pay all closing cost but also back taxes, water bills etc.

The owner pays for all the bills currently 575 per unit, which include water, electricity, internet, and cable.

The mold remediation guys hire the best salesman to scare you into getting them in there with no price on the bill.

We understand the risk of having the tenant’s utilities in our name and the hassle of owner billing back utilities to the tenant (we do this on quite a few units for water).
