I'm working on my Schedule E for last year.

I tell my property owners up front if I am able to schedule their rent payment to them by the 10th or first business day after, I keep the late fee (100%).

I schedule my mail every 6 weeks.

Now's the time to get the rehab schedule lined up so you can get it back on the market ASAP.

I had that just 2 days before I was scheduled to prevent what happened.  

I gave my $300,000 move-in ready beautiful vacant home to this large well known local co in Oct 2016.( Ive owned and self-managed another very similar rental in the same subdivision-- since 1998--and it has never had one day of vacancy in 16 years-- rented at $1860.)This professional pm co put all utilities in their name on my new property and turned the hot water heater ON and the Water ON ( even tho the main water cutoff valve is easily accessible in the coat closet beside the garage, the entire 3 months they 'managed it').They let the property sit VACANT OCT-NOVand on their "routine inspection on Dec 1, to make sure hobos had not moved in" they SAW the water heater in the garage was spewing (at full blast) A 20' stream/ fountain of HOT WATERand that the entire finished closed garage was covered COVERED !!

Which is really not only a fee but also random scheduled inspections which can invoke additional fines. 

Be sure to differentiate "normal wear & tear" from damages.If you have a routine for move-outs, all of that is 'normal', eg: cleaning carpets. 

I build "education time" into my schedule its usually first thing in the morning before the family gets up or last thing at night once everyone goes to bed rarely in the middle of the day but occasionally.

That should  be a 'once in your life due to a family emergency thing,' not a normal routine way to pay rent.
