The tenants take care of all utilities and landscaping.

I have two rents coming to market shortly and I’ve been looking for the best small-landlord friendly, user friendly, cost-effective, method of electronically accepting and submitting rent payments to the credit bureaus.

I mean electrical, plumbing, roofing, siding, masonry, woodwork, landscaping you name it and he can do it.

@Kaden Keller it’s now permissible in most states to surcharge the cost of accepting payment electronically.  

I would explain that once they apply and are accepted, that they will receive the final lease and have x days to review and sign before you move onto the next applicant.That is what I am thinking, but I most certainly wouldn't give them an electronic copy until they apply.

In the first duplex that I house hacked I made it so the tenant had to pay electronically through erentpayment even though I lived 100 feet away from them.

A few other things to keep in mind is that you will be responsible for maintenance of the common areas, like landscaping and snow removal.Also keep in mind that when you rent a SFH, you often have a renter who will take care of some issues themselves. 

The plan with this property was to make significant common area improvements, (common areas, landscaping, pool, area, business center) and renovate approx. half of the units (kitchens and baths) and sell the property.

I'm looking at replacing the roof, redoing bathrooms and kitchens, adding storage units, and updating the basement walls, also landscaping.

  ( though you can def make money on those)  I know A guy that his complete strategy was to get them dirt cheap put a good amount of money even a bit above rehab estimate,  wire the house with smart electronics equipment , to make it more appealing to ,millennials , Modern kitchen,  And he will bring first home buyers to this neighborhood , and little by little theses neighbors start to change ..
