The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

Then I offered 2.5% for the buyers agent she charged the full 3% with them paying extra at closing 🙄 this is why there is all the law suits! 

If you are prepared for the costs involved and the modifications needed to the property to make the basement unit conform, the pay off of creating an extra rent producing unit is huge. 

Ideally you can provide something extra or unique that you can highlight in your photos and description to stand out. 

I buy a box of bolts or some tools, or buy an extra stove or fridge at a yard sale what entity do I put it in? 

Just be sure to stay on top of your contributions, fees, and any extra paperwork so you can get the most out of those “triple tax” benefits.Hope this helps!

There are a lot of other strategies one can try, but what you do is the lowest risk, the most predictable outcome and takes the least amount of time and energy.I always suggest to use an extra time an investor has to think about building or buying a business that generates cash to accelerate the growth curve. 

Tell him that you are running out of funds and you hadn't planned on the extra 20% he's charging on each bill. 

I interpretttev @Alan Asriants statement different than you but agree it is not clear   He could be indicating pools, basements, sunrooms do not provide a means for an extra tenant.  

It may take 2-3 extra months, but the rent is still coming in.
