We have a modest security deposit collected up front along with 1st month's rent and the cleaning fee.

Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions or would like to discuss!

Be sure to explore all around the forums as well as many of the FREE tools that Bigger Pockets provides.I am on the lending side of things and am always happy to hop on a call to discuss loan options that are out there, even if not offered by my resources.

I'd love to discuss how we can quickly help you get funded. 

While fees are pretty similar between custodians, read the fee schedules carefully as there are sometimes others fees charged that aren't readily discernible.Good luck and happy holidays!

I believe it is completely reasonable to have a clause in your lease that places a cap on utilities with any overage (proven by a bill) being the responsibility of the resident.Our clause states that any electrical bill (we don't have gas, and water has never been a problem) that is over double the same month's bill from last year will have the overage assigned as a fee.It is important to keep your bookkeeping straight if you do assess a fee.

I’d love to learn more about the off-market multis you mentioned in Waterville and any other opportunities that might align with my goals.Looking forward to discussing further—let me know the best way to connect! 

Also check if Titan charges monthly fees, I know Relay doesn't.

If you are looking for a more laid back and roundtable type discussion of all things real estate, you are more than welcome to join us every Tuesday morning on Zoom or Thursday morning at Kairos Coffee where we discuss everything from assumable loans, to creative buying strategies, to landlord tenant laws and pretty much everything in between! 

Depending on the quality of the lead, how much work you’ve done with them, the exact source, the property in question, etc, they may range from worthless to worth a small referral fee.
