There are quite a few solutions out there so that even the most tech challenged person can pay electronically.

Even if you all used the same app, your insight and experience allows you to make a better offer.Personally I would probably still use a spreadsheet just because you can customize it easily and it can do more if you need it.

But I stand on what I said as the solution-- and that's risk management.

That's it, but a) print out a page for each property you think is comparable, b) make the list of repairs long and inclusive of everything you've done. c) Put larger items first like kitchen remodel......and don't just say 'kitchen remodel', list things like 'custom backsplash tile/Bosch appliances/recessed can lighting/pot filler/etc. d) Cite the price/value of the work done, and don't be afraid to be generous.

@Jerell Edmonds If you don’t want to front the cost to add the extra meters then one solution that worked for my father was to divide the billed amount by one extra part each month and you pay for the extra part.

I do wholesale or can custom look for something that fits your wants.

So far I am basing it on customer service.

My mom's rental situation is taking a huge emotional toll on her, so my siblings and I are looking for solutions and are interested in joining any class action lawsuits against the right entity.

The solution is the deferred sales trust, as all debt is paid off at the close of escrow.

So while it's not as ideal as a multifamily property, it does present a solution for those that are in the personal situation where they can.
