I always collect one full month's rent first regardless of how many days they occupy the first month and then have them pay the pro-rated amount on the second month - it gets more skin in the game with the tenant. 

Like you guys say the back and forth is part of the game, sometime I get a little more sometimes they get a little more. 

I'm a new investor in southeast Wisconsin looking to break into the game through a duplex purchase.

Sure commercial propertyare going to want more skin in the game and cost a little more but at some point EVERYBODY has to pony up.

They are gaming the system legally to negate all my efforts.BTW previous landlord has a respectable govt. job which pays well.

Repetitive strain injuries from typing so much have led me to realize that coding is a young (wo)man's game.  

Therefore, get in and get out is the name of the game.

I am new the game and interested in Wholesaling, Rentals, etc.

I intended to refi when construction was complete and possibly make it my primary residence, the ARV would be $500k or higher if the market stays strong.I called my lender to discuss the end game and she said that she cannot refi on AITD and that they are illegal.

If you are an experienced investor or even looking to start yourself in the game of real estate please feel free to get in touch.
