Now that becomes very lucrative.We have also done some (cash buy) flips but I have separation anxiety when its time to sell something you worked on.

I would add a few more ways to create recurring revenue streams.

I'm assuming many other first time investors have probably come across that same feeling of anxiety as I had started to feel.

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.
