Property managers usually charge about 10% of the monthly rent.

Buying in small towns can also limit you access to trades or they charge you more for the trip. 

Because of this they never charged market rent, so never had money set aside for capex or repairs.

Obviously make sure you record liens against the property, try to get the borrower to personally guarantee the debt, charge points up front, get an appraisal. 

However, termites can be persistent, so a regular maintenance plan could add peace of mind and prevent future damage.For example, your pest control company’s plan charges $995 upfront for termites and $22 per month for ongoing treatment.

I charged them all the late fees and I was not happy and expressed my concerns, but I did get paid on the 12th.Now, this 3rd time for this month of August, the boyfriend contacted me a day or two before the 1st and said they would not have the rent until the 9th of August.

They do not actually have any money coming in that's why they charge so high and keep changing names so that no one can recognize them and they take a new identity every few years, do not sign anything with them!!!

Your ROI would depend on EV adoption rates and if there are rental comps that offer charging.

I have been looking into trying mid-term rentals due to the increase in rent that you can charge, but I don't know where to start.

Maybe once a year... most of the time when there is a pest problem it is the tenant's fault and we charge them accordingly.
