Make them pay the full deposit and first month's rent (proves they can afford it) then give them the reduction the second month.4.

So they would cover part and then your tenant would cover the rest.  

While down, installed a new Encode, fired up the Schlage app, then integrated it into Remotelock and everything worked good for a month.

And if you think that you could just give them more points on screening so they are more likely to get your place then other professions, without a discount. 

So your paycheck goes into the MM fund, then once per month, you automatically move money to your checking to pay bills.

Many of us get frustrated self managing and seek a property manager for various reasons.For me, it was a combination of problem tenants for one of my properties, then a few months later I moved across the country and came to the conclusion that hiring a full time PM would be my best course of action to maximize efficiency on my properties.

I have found that if its a good enough deal to flip , its a good deal to keep as a rental , sometimes better , as a rental you do a quick repair and cosmetic update and rent it out , and in maybe a couple year it has appreciated , you then do a remodel and sell and you have made much more 

Even then I keep my ears to the ground because a good guy can go bad due to human problems.

Why not take a Heloc of like 100k and use that as your bankroll and then use Hard Money to fund 80% - 85% of the deals. 

All agreed that we would much rather use our company as the front man (if you will) and then use a viable agreement/contract to list purpose, profit allocation, rights (including voting) and obligations of persons under agreement, amendment and dissolution criteria, and duration of joint venture.
