I've heard ideas such as adding storage space, renting furnished apartments, raising rents by percentages annually, wholesaling cable/internet to tenants, etc.  

I'm a Entrepreneur/Internet Marketer.

But on the other hand, you'll have an opportunity to learn some (not a lot) of real estate law which is hands down better than downloading a wholesaling contract off the internet from some random guru.

Last night I found some legal advice on masslegalhelp.org (I am not affiliated with this site) "When landlords rent apartments to new tenants, they often try to get more money than just the rent.  

I am asking in this forum rather than the internet forum because this forum is where most borrowers and lenders can be found and it is their opinion that will help guide me to a decision on this.

It does not have to be local to you, we are living in an age when most business transactions can be done over the internet/phone/email.

ok. i came across a posted advertisement along the highway i was on about learning how to make extra income through real estate. i called and left a message. a week later i was contacted. the contact is an affiliate of Renatus. skeptical because I've been down many paths to no where trying to learn how to build wealth leading to financial stability, i started internet research on Renatus. this research lead me to BiggerPockets.

My attorney is affiliated with the title company so it keeps everything in my control not theirs.
