So, instead of a flat fee, offer a higher percentage of collected rents. 

Hey everyone,Starting in my house hack first property and would like to know how you collect rent.

Me having extensive background in waterproofing I ended up just doing it as it only costs me actual costs not the costs of hiring a contractor.

Considering this is such an expensive repair, if you get any push-back, I would let them know this will end up in collections if not paid.  

However, my tenants just renewed their lease, so I'm looking at another year of collecting easy rent checks. 

The C Corp did not collect rents from tenants, it collects it from me, to make bookkeeping easier.

For example: purchase price, financing contingency, inspection contingency, closing time frame, etc.You can put in that you're trying to reduce the price by 3% based upon a brokers commission.Additionally, most brokers contracts state the commission they collect if they sell it without an agent representing the buyer, so unless you're a licensed broker, you not using a buyers agent won't really affect the commission that's already been agreed upon.  

This would be an extensive and expensive project, but would benefit the city and community greatly. 

I would hate to have to go to a collections agency.  

Just purchased a single family home and it needs extensive renovations.
