The income includes things like late fees, a rented garage, and utilities that are billed back to the tenant. 

So, I talked to the current tenant got her bills (I knew how much they would be roughly since I had a rental up the street I was remodeling to get on the market).

However, I kept receiving errors so am trying to post this now without the link to the article and hopefully, that works.

Things they did bad which I wish I had asked more information about:Never involved in the screening of tenantsThey recommended keys for cash by waiving the rent amount buy only collecting fees which they would get not meThe cost to evict is 750-950 yet other companies told me they will include eviction in the priceThe tenant didnt pay in full last month and I was the one calling out to them and asking questions then a few days later I get an email saying something happened with the tenant and they are investigating.You get passed from person to person every week or so.No one told me when the construction was complete and so the house was ready for a week and the post to zillow and other sites was not done.It took them another week to take pictures and then another week to upload it.I was paying 200 dollar a month electric bills while the house was vacant because they left the AC running in the empty property.

Additionally, not all transaction types support Locations, meaning you'll have to create journal entries to correct them—requiring a solid understanding of debits and credits, which can be time-consuming and error-prone.Instead, I recommend biting the bullet and upgrading to QuickBooks Online Plus for each entity.

There is a new bill being proposed hopefully eliminating Pmi if that gets passed that would be a game changer .

There are other players in the game to compare with like Kenny Bedwell at STR Insights or Bill Faeth's coaching.

I agree with your approach in aiming for better locations, seems that texas (dallas /FT worth) fits the bill.

Quote from @Sandra Morrison: @Shannon LeckingerI have STRs and LTRs - your condo will be possibly more of an appreciation play but you can’t pay bills with appreciation.
