Also let me tell you all about myself and why I am starting to think about this very seriously.I have been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder.

The thrid party aggregates and processes tenant initiated or recurring 'direct debit' transactions via ACH with low transaction costs ($0.50 to $3.00 average).I'd like to know how this will work for you so I can have an option that doesn't involve the ACH intermediary my company uses now.

This is a major recurring expense so I am wondering about the cost to install individual meters for all the apartments so tenants can pay their own utilities.Can anyone offer me a rough estimate on range of prices I would be looking at?

You may choose to set up recurring payment or direct deposit through your bank.

I think of the new "bad tenant protection" insurance offerings the same as I think of other insurance - only to be used if there is a big loss, not to cover the recurring smaller expenses associated with tenant turnover.

But – I would seek to reduce any anxiety about the quality or reputation of the company.I think what often happens here is that sometimes we accidentally don’t compare apples to apples.

It might be best to just understand what circumstances led to your current situation, and create a plan to prevent them from recurring in the future.  

I'm sure this is a recurring question but I've searched through the forum and can't seem to find any specific answers.

I was thinking about doing rehab&flips in CA due to how high the margins are, but I'm having a hard time finding enough leads to make recurring revenue at the levels I need it ($200k/year take home).However, what is not hard is finding buy&holds in other states and generating more passive income that way.I currently own 6 houses in FL outright.

A small portion of his income is recurring via monthly payments, but the majority of the little money he does make is when he makes a sale.
