Like if now they pay an average of $50 in electric but I get panels and say I'll cover electric for an extra $25, that is a $25 decrease for them and possibly covers the added cost to me which over time gets paid off and an added benefit for new renters going forward.

That's what I did.You can hear more about my story on a podcast episode I did with Joe Fairless that goes more into detail.If you really want to go the extra mile with this concept, you can evaluate yourself with a free DISC assessment by Tony Robbins or some other personality assessment tool.Good luck...

do they charge any extras?

The only issue with the double close in my opinion is the extra closing cost and the need to use your own money even temporarily.

Agree with the above in that taking direct payments requires an extra level of effort on your part.

Wouldn’t it be better to only allow a certain amount of extra money to be created due to the damage of existing paper currency ~1%... not 3%?

I would sent them a notice, mailed or handed to them informing them that they are not permitted to drive on your property.

They charge you an annual rate and then the out of pocket costs for extras like freon tend to make the repair costs as much as it would cost to hire your own person.

If you have to go with custom sizes, and need extra framing or lots of new trim work it can start to get pricey. 

It was quite the challenge, and involved a lot of extra management time.On anything I do that is outside of affordable housing, part of my screening process for new tenants is that they have to apply online.
