@Alan DeRossett, I believe Tenantcloud, Cozy.co, etc have good tenant portals as well.It sounds like to you have a similar background to mine, so you also probably realize the true cost of implementing and maintaining a system such as that. 

I am mostly interested in learning more about implementing BRRRR and Lease Optioning.

Overall, what strategy would you implement?

And others either aren't willing or able to see or implement your advantage.

Mom and pop tenants didn't like it when we implemented property management.

I'm considering implementing a bounty program, where the current tenant gets a small bounty ($200) if a lease gets signed before they move out, and they leave the place in great condition upon move out, so the next tenants can move in 1 day later.

How would you approach raising rents and implementing a pet fee/pet rent?

She is a few years younger than me and she is a computer programmer that has been saving money for about 25 years.  

@Donna stay on the BP site and learn about techniques that don't need your credit ratingThink about bird dogging for successful real estate investorsI write a lot about private lending, subject to existing financing, lease option assignments, joint venture with the seller on minor rehabs, finding joint venture partners to put up deposits and funding rehabs...Once you understand some of the strategies, you can implement them with the worst creditBest of luck to you@Donna D.

Get a good legal adviser w/experience in business partnerships.You can also reward yourself more in the deal through taking asset management fee assuming you are hiring a property manager and that fee would help compensate you for oversight and implementation of the business plan.
