Ours is $75 in Bridgeport, Connecticut.What also works is adding $75 to the monthly rent during initial lease signing, then offering a discount if they pay before the 5th of the month.Sometimes the carrot works better than the stick.

This will initiate whatever requirements they have (e.g., nothing, 6 months or 12 months seasoning etc.). 

How much weight do you give that map on making an initial decision?

You can take out your basis in cash (a full return on your initial investment) but the rest I believe needs to be invested int he QOZ property.

Initially I'd like to just occasionally bring my Motorhome up for the weekend.

I meet contractors and they initially tried to get over on me.

Signing over the house alone enables most lenders to immediately initiate a foreclosure. 

I could also get a better deal with an initial cash offer.

If someone on here could give me insight on where to focus energies in the initial stages of growing your presence, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Alex, we were initially given the opportunity to get a line of credit on the 2 houses we own at a higher interest rate, but that too was denied to us.
