@Charles ManuelI have an uncle/aunt combo with 3 kids that just started getting into the RE game outside of their full time jobs. 

Hello everybody, of course we were working during last 5 years with some retailers implementing loyalty programs based on proximity marketing tools, and currently we are working for airports, transportation systems and other venues....We had the opportunity to test and compare the tree main technologies availables: ibeacon, wifi-routers and Seeketing.Not all strategies are easy to implement, and the results are very different (ibeacon < 1% of total customer engaged, wifi-router/social wifi <10%, Seeketing <70% of total customer engaged)... so more than 30 projects and six years of experience doing a lot of things... happy to share with you any detail if you are interested.Regards

I have a lot of areas of expertise that I’m sure can help someone else’s business, I’m just so new to the game that I don’t know how they can fit into someone’s business model.

That was my first move in the game, and it proved to be a smart one.

I have been fortunate enough to be in this here real estate game for over 25 years as well as have some basic experience in BPO's (several thousand over the last several years).

You got some good comments already.The one thing I would add is if the gas covers heating, then it depends on whether the custom in your areas is if the heat is included in the rent.

I'm also about to list my first live in flip, so I'd be curious about any lessons you've learned in selling your flips.It's always crazy how fast things can move once your in the game.

No matter who you call, they will always tell you they know how to handle real estate because no good business person is going to turn down a customer, but that's where it becomes frustrating. 

I found this little nugget of info in the instructions for Schedule C (Line 1):Installment sales.Generally, the installment method cannot be used to report income from the sale of (a) personal property regularly sold under the installment method, or (b) real property held for resale to customers.

I think it can be seen as your tenants are your customers and having a good working relationship with them is probably going to be best overall.
