I have a duplex here in Omaha that appears to have some root growth in the sewage piping, which is causing a reoccuring clogging issue. 

The ultimate goal is to buy rentals (preferably multifamily) to get the coveted reoccurring income. 

You would then spend non-reoccuring transactions out of the management account store money and pay auto payments out of the property account.

@Carson KesnerInstead of us saying don't do it, since this is a re-occurring theme of tenants wanting to pay in advance, why don't we use this as a case study.

After I told him I would add $500 to his commission if he can get it done without the "bidding against myself" bs, the "other offer" mysteriously disappeared.This has happened to me too much.I try to look at this reoccurring dilemma quantitatively to provide me with the logical reasoning I need to keep me from flipping over the nearest table every time I get the sense I'm bidding against myself.Say a house is listed and untouched at $50,000 and I come in at $45,000.

In states where the sales price is much lower you may need all 6% to just pay for the non reoccurring closing costs.As to why someone would want to put the least down or pay PMI, its either a financial planning decision or an emotional one.

Cozy looks good but why don't they allow a tenant to pay one time payments vs reoccurring?

This guy explains how to take the statement from your property management and turn it into a reoccuring expense so that all you have to do is just match it up once a month instead of creating an itemized line item like you've suggested.

If you prefer to just give cross streets or PM me that's fine too--but it sounds like there are some reoccurring shenanigans going on in the area.

Been using ACH pulls for rent payment through eRentPayment.com and love it, but only works if the dollar amount stays the same each payment.Looking for suggestions on controlling ACH payments for reoccurring bills with a non-regular amounts.
