I’ve had great experience with private landlords in the past, and have found fellow pet lovers that didn’t charge pet rent, or accepted my larger dog (when he was alive) to live in an apartment without hassle.

Rules for contractors NEVER use your money to fund a customers project ( unless you hold first lien position and charge interest )If the money stops , the work stops .Put everything in writing .

For me in 2023:No LLC’s, 12 properties in 2 states, only 1 state income tax, no w-2’s, a pension and a 1031 exchange.I was charged $1,275, up from 2022 when I was charged  $1,175 but didn’t have an exchange.

Then I wrote 3 books, became the person in charge of education in my REI and had to produce presentations every month (at least 2) for it, and before I knew it,...It's not as hard as you think, at least it was for me. 

Hop on Airbnb and scan nearby properties of similar size to get a feel for what they offer at the price points charged.

We use Turbotenant now and they offer it to the renters for a small charge.

In my market we are not allowed to charge above market rent for section 8 and why charge below market on a standard lease. 

I was charged a year’s membership. 

The reality is stocks are NOT "investing", there savings accounts with super charged interest earning potential, that comes with the risk of going to 0.  

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.
