It’s been a while, but I finally managed to get back into the BP forum—great to be here again!

The utility company doesn't manage your property...they provide paid services until they're not paid anymore. 

Quote from @Pamela Rivas: Hi Natasha,Here are some key points to consider about setting up a Mexican corporation:Setup Costs: $1,500–$3,000 USDOngoing Costs: $1,000–$2,000 USD/year (accounting and tax filings)Benefits: Tax deductions for expenses like maintenance, repairs, and managementBest for: Multiple properties or income-generating investmentsWhile a corporation is ideal for managing multiple properties, it’s NOT required to obtain an RFC.

I'm using a property management software (TurboTenant) for rental applications and screening reports, and they charge each prospective tenant $45 for this service.However, the Wisconsin State Legislature states that the landlord can only charge the actual cost of a credit report (up to $25).

Since you mentioned you're working 9-5, I’d suggest look into turnkey rental and considering property managers to help manage you’re property.

Maintenance is one of the biggest challenges, maybe even #1, in the Property Management industry.Seems maintenance is, Never Fast Enough for Tenants, or Cheap Enough for Owners!

I have a few rentals with section 8, and they are professionally managed.

Account ClosedAdding your property manager as "additional insured" is standard practice and beneficial for you.

As an owner of single family rentals, it's on me to adequately vett out and keep on top of the performance of my property managers.

I'm going to try leasing the place out myself again, but if I'm struggling, I will hire property manager.
