. 😊 Where are you based?

I don't see a reason to remove the new supports in the crawl space in the future and based on your picture, I don't think you would need to remove them to put in new floors.

I've got the idea to more positively incentivize my tenants to pay rent by the idea expressed in the following example:- If they pay any later than five days late, they pay base rent ($1,000) + fixed late fee (e.g., $150)- If pay on time without autopay, they pay base rent ($1,000) + "manual payment fee" (e.g., $25 or $50)- If they use autopay for timely payments, they pay just the base rent ($1,000)In the above example, you see that a discount of $25-50 was applied in the case that the tenant chooses to setup autopay to schedule on-time payments via a given PM software.Please let me know if any software comes to mind and also any feedback on the positive incentive idea.Thanks in advance!

What kind of database should I use to keep track of my leads and client base?

You can create an account to advertise yourself as a host or a guest (or both) and get matched with others.

I am based out of Chicago, il

Based on your response, I probably need to hire someone just for the Open Houses who is available multiple days per month.

It really becomes a time value of money calculation based on when you want to sell your Class A rental.

In almost all investments, you should have a solid base of reliable, cash-flowing, and hopefully appreciating assets before striking out into something new or riskier. 

 @Deepak Malhotra based on your sales price, I assume this was also sold many years ago.
