Are there any landlords who have a system setup for billing tenants using RUBS?

Do the Seller's want all cash now, or would they prefer to do some owner finance over 5 years to make a little interest and reduce their tax bill?   

A few things I would consider; some lenders do not use income from your GI Bill as qualifying income.

For everyone else I just say "this is the amount your lease increased"The last thing you want is a tenant who calls you saying- "I spoke with Linda at the post office and she said she got her water bill reduced by...." or "I talked to my cousin and he said you should appeal the taxes."

Or are the tenants residing in your property but their company is footing the bill?

If the homeowner, soon to be your tenant, is unable to pay her bills, what do you think will happen when the rent comes due?

We do monthly anniversary billing so it's a very up-to-date picture of things.

Your accountant will tell you that the more you write off on your taxes, the more you may save on your tax bill but the less it shows as a profit that you are keeping.
