There are some other fees that come to about $10-$13 a month for the water bill in addition to the actual water usage fee.

As long as they know your e-mail address, they can send you a payment. :-) I think other banks also have a similar bill payment, but this is what we ended up with so shop around!

They can catch a leak or problem early if given the right encouragement.On logistics, I still like e-mail or text as I can get it anytime and am online all the time or can check my phone.

I was thinking about charging $50.00 extra per month for extra wear and tear and water usage in the apartment (I pay for water/sewer). 

I would start paying the gas bill until I got the house plumbing changed so your other tenant is not held hostage by the gas usage of the other.

I think the best book to start off on is the free e-book on this site and listen to the many podcasts here as well.

I was going to pull my all my Schedule E's to see what I put for maintenance the last few years, but did not get around to it.

Sincerely,E.

Grind it out, door knocking, handing out your business card to other parents at your kids soccer games, telling everybody you meet what you do, getting a client, working super hard for them so you have no time for e farming so your lead gen stops, then starting it up again once you're done with that client.
