. - I only accept electronic rent / deposits... my tenants are young professionals and prefer this method anyway- I go back to check on the unit 1x per year - fully tax deductible trip per my CPA (its a bonus that I happen to see friends at night after checking on it).this model might not scale without PM, but remote self-managing works IF you plan ahead 

A bonus would come if the several rehabs being done nearby sell at their projected prices before I go to market.

@Kevin Schulte, I like your suggestion of a bonus incentive for high collections. 

I give s $200.00 bonus if they place a qualified tenant in a vacancy within 30 days of a tenant leaving one of my front doors.

Bonus! 

The same petition also includes the Decedent's heirs and their mailing info as well.If an email address is provided by the PR, this would be a bonus.

I'm looking at a rent raise as a bonus.

Equity is nice to have, but I prefer to invest for monthly cash flow and look at equity as a bonus.  

As an added bonus you'll also avoid the PMI and get slightly better pricing for your interest rate.
