Not only do we receive discounts on our auto insurance, personal homeowners, etc., we can then apply discounts to our rental properties.

I might note that in addition to suggesting a possible slot of open house times, there are some software options out there which allow you to schedule showings immediately after you've listed the unit, and it allows you the ability to also auto-request applications (keeps everything easy and in one place - so listing, tenant screening applications, leases and other tools like rent collection and maintenance tracking just to keep the process seamless); would be happy to share more info. 

If it's your only SFR, it's a good idea to package it with your home and auto. 

@Ludmila M. you have to follow state law.We use RingCentral which auto-announces calls are being recorded.

easy... i get a copy of the bill. the tenant gets a copy of the bill.they auto draft the money from my account, the tenant adds the payment to their bill. the bill is on time and no issues.

Plus now we send auto reminders prior to the first of the month and our late payments are less than 7%.  

Sometimes I'll create multiple auto-emails like Multi-Family, new REOs, new Short Sales, so the investor can look at different categories.

I'm saving money on everything, primary home, investment properties, and auto insurance, but the biggest savings came from the investment properties.I couldn't be happier with the change. 

Not only are you just paying extra to the principal, you'd have to charge unexpected auto repairs, home repair and etc since all your cash (including savings) would be tied up in the HELOC (if not now, eventually).Are there origination fees?

For example, we knocked about 500/yr off our combined property and auto insurance by switching providers.
