The ones I manage total to 20 bedrooms.These rooms rent for between $125 to $225 per week depending on room size and amenities in the room (beyond basic amenities may include: Desk, Tv, private entry, tenant controlled AC, additional storage).This month after padsplit takes their 14.25% cut of the revenue I am recieving, from the units I own, $15,230 from 3 homes.

Usually landlords don't care but some tenants prefer a basic app like Zelle/Venmo.Full transparency: I've used Venmo and Zelle in the past to collect rents. 

@Michael Baum, my cleaner now charges $175 for the full monty, will talk to her & see what will charge for basic clean /refresh ? 

@Marcus GonzalezMy recommendation would be to start investing at a more basic level.

I basically can’t access my money and the updates feel very ominous.

For Canadians seeking to tap into the market in the States, the way the LLC is arranged creates a challenging tax environment and basically leaves you limited return. 

Do the basics (ie don't start moving walls).

There is a reason that most states (including Connecticut) require property managers to be licensed, one of which is that they are required to have basic education on the rules and laws governing the practice.

So basically, whatever new investment you get would need to make up for the now -3% return on your remaining 200k in equity.

Basic plumbing, electrical, HVAC knowledge will go a long way.
