You clearly have little knowledge of how to run a business and the costs associated with it.

Hello, I'm looking at hiring my in laws for my LLC rental property business.

Hi,My name is Kathy. I have been a teacher for 21 years. I'm looking for a way to free up my time and invest to give my family a better life.

In my nearly 20 years of representing landlords and property management companies, I have advised against allowing tenants to perform services for the landlord in exchange for rent reduction.

Nice promotion, but do you have stats on how well they perform versus traditional 1-4 units?

However, by emphasizing their security deposit and concerns about repairs every tenant we've approached using this system has signed our lease.Someone from maintenance stops by to introduce themselves, give a business card and ask if there are any repairs that need to be addressed in their unit.

I either find general contractors who under-budget and stick me later, or those who are so busy I can’t get a reasonable start date, or those who are very available but don’t do good work.

Is it a good idea to base an entire business model around something that breaks the law?

Im not the greatest when it come to public speaking and things like that but I want to meet more people involved in business and real estate so I can network and keep bettering my self. 

Obviously if you have unlimited cash then sure, don't do it but for 90% of people it is the cost of doing business.
