I started with a standard lease agreement and incorporated best practices borrowed from other lease agreements. 

But as long as you know this going in and can incorporate the cost into your numbers, it will be fine.

With a House Hacker Podcast, it would probably be harder to cash flow if you incorporate the repair costs into the mortgage monthly payment right?

This is especially true in a market that has a shifting demo graphic like Oakland. 

Should I self incorporate?

If you do not already have a company then I would recommend that you incorporate and use that company for that and so much more. 

Garbage service is usually a flat fee and it's easy to incorporate the value in the rent.

When you buy a condo you also should get a bunch of condo docs… Bylaws, Rules and Regulations, Articles of Incorporation, Frequently Asked Questions.

You still retain the ability to export the data to your next phase of ownership, and have a nice graphical tool to show you where you are in the process.If you don't have a (post-purchase) management solution in place, I'd be happy to talk with you about that some other time.

They all said that they paid the initial investment then they had to pay more $$ to incorporate through them.
