Most homeowners I know could use an extra $60,000+ in their pocket!

With proper strategies, you can use the tax-sheltering benefits of such a plan to compound earnings over time and build a significant amount of wealth to draw on in your sunset years.Self-directed IRA and 401(k) plans are not for everyone. 

We were also asked to push other ancillary services (like fans installed at $10/month) or insurance for an extra $10/month.

Or if you need extra money for something fun (concert, vacation, etc.) you have to get creative and find a way to make extra money.

so it all depends on how you earn and redeem.  

Pm me if you could use an extra leg 👍

Sure, it can help if you're talking to people to mention that you are a broker, but outside of that, you don't get any special privileges or knowledge just from earning your RE license. 

In my experience asking your tenants to do extra work to pay rent is great for saving yourself time, but not necessarily a good idea if you're trying to boost your reviews as a landlord / PM business.

If the solar could account for the heat pumps and even if we had extra that could be sold back to the grid.

@Ellie Narie USDA will not loan on an income earning property, regardless if they know about it upfront or after the fact.
