Really looking to upgrade to battery powered access control to be more efficient and cut costs during turnovers.

Regardless of which home you buy, you will need to spend some money in upgrades and fun features to maximize rentals.One last note:  I would not put too much of emphasis on a PSF analysis. 

Call it a long-hold fix & flip for land, with an injection of wildlife and habitat minded eco-investment.

Currently, the property is rented at $2100/month.The house, built in the 1900s, requires significant renovation, and the tenant frequently requests various repairs and maintenance, such as duct cleaning and appliance upgrades.

It's managed to convince people that a DIRTIER more costly, toxic manner of producing electricity, is "eco-friendly".

Eco-tourism (outfitter tents) for off-grid wildland camping, bird watching, mtn biking, hunting and dark-sky stargazing will bring incremental revenue.

I want to put in place some incentives for new tenants and want to know if anyone on BiggerPockets has done something similar.Here are a few ideas I have had:First Month Free: Sign a 13-month lease and get your first month freePets: No pet fee for the first 6 months, year, etcRent Discounts: Offer a discounted rent for the first month or two fortenants who sign a pre-lease agreement before a certain date.Waived Fees: Waive application fees, administrative fees, or securitydeposit for tenants who pre-lease.Free Utilities: Offer to cover utilities such as water, electricity,or internet for a certain period for tenants who sign a pre-lease.Upgrade Packages: Provide upgrades or amenities such as free parking,access to a fitness center, or a smart home package for those whopre-lease.Gift Cards or Vouchers: Offer gift cards or vouchers to localbusinesses such as restaurants, cafes, or grocery stores as a signingbonus.Flexible Lease Terms: Offer flexible lease terms, such as shorterlease lengths or the option to renew at the same rate, to incentivizetenants to pre-lease.Refer-a-Friend Program: Encourage current tenants to refer friends orfamily by offering them a reward if their referral signs a pre-leaseagreement.Early Move-In: Allow tenants who pre-lease to move in a few days earlyat no additional cost.Guaranteed Parking: If parking is limited, offer guaranteed parkingspots for tenants who sign a pre-lease agreement.

Currently own my primary residence and 2 investment properties are a beach condo (short term) and single family home (long term rental).The problem is I run a successful business and have no time to do the research in new markets, deal flow, upgrades, making sure cashflow, property management, etc.I am also not a real estate professional.

Purchase price: $830,000 Cash invested: $225,000 The invested gain from the previous sale was utilized to upgrade, leveraging an ideal location for long-term appreciation, ultimately ensuring income during retirement.

One of the applicants is a Section 8 applicant in the state of California.(1) I want to be conscious when screening tenants, I am wondering should I have them all apply at once and play $40 for application fee, knowing that only 1 tenant would be able to stay?
