s) but if they direct deposit they can make a small deposit and it will be considered accepted and nullify your case.Also, make sure you are charging a late fee 5% in NC that seems to motivate people as well. 

They usually charge several $100.

Plus, I'm pretty sure they were charging me for inspections they didn't do.

Your best bet is to first gain an understanding of the market by taking a sample set of similar properties and determining how the different features impacted the overall value of each property.

The Civil Rights Commission will assign an investigator to see if there is cause for a charge - they do not operate on a "guilty until proven innocent" basis.

@Franka HauckAndrew gave you some valuable tips.A couple things to keep in mind1) Charge market rent to your inlaws.

I'm only nearly 5 mos in on my venture but we need to carry the following for our residential care (assisted living)  licensed for 41 beds - but we can hold 36 beds in our current configurationGeneral Liability (We buy through an independent broker - basically covers medical malpractice, any slip/falls etc)Workers CompAnd even though you arent interested - Non owned auto insurance in case staff use their own vehicles to run an errand etc, building insurance for wind/hail etc inc general property liabilityAll of this runs around $33k to 36k a year for us - thats before health insurance for us etc - Work Comp is the most expensive part of that mix.Your best bet is likely not to find the coverage by calling yourself - you'll just waste your time - find a broker that can sell you this insurance - as far as limits - some of the limits are state mandated and will be in the regulations. 

Am wondering if I should for the sake of keeping the books straight charge myself rent (I have no plans to file eviction against myself if I don't pay).PS The unit is not held in an LLC and I have no plans to do that.

Your best bet is to find a lender that will allow you to close in the entity (My company allows it, even a brand new LLC but only on investment and max Loan to Value is 75% so there are drawbacks).

Streets can be a to b one end and low d's the other end so do your homework.Dean- I would love to hear some examples of things you look for with pm charges that can be wrong.
