@Jacob SwihartYour insurance will go up as Gustavo mentioned since it would be a rental income property.

Your proposed strategy may make litigation after a claim arises more complicated and costly for you to defend.  

Chicago Attendees, 
As we prepare for Cancun next week, I was thinking that it would be fun to organize a little Moon Palace get-together for Chicago-area attendees once we are all down there. I certainly would love ...

In my experience it helps keep pre-applicants organized and is an actual sight with a google-able name so it doesn't seem as scammy.The background check and credit fee is $30 paid by the prospective tenant but I always tell people applying for my units ahead of time what my credit and background requirements are and that if they pass those qualifications (plus the reference checks) and sign + pay the deposit that I will reimburse them the application fee.

Hi BP Family,I am looking to replace a 17 year old AC system in a 1200 sqft townhome in the Kansas City area and I was wondering how much that might cost.

Then send a follow up email outlining what you are proposing.

Thanks for you answer and the heads up.

So the increase in revenue probably ends up being 5-6%.Maybe I am over estimating the cost though.

However, Landlords face even greater cost pressures that lead to the increase decisions.
