I currently don't have an extensive buyer's list being so new.

If you are planning on an extensive renovation, ask if you are in the correct policy.  

How are you supposed to legally collect rent or have rules?

I also collect a $10k non refundable deposit (or $20k for higher end properties) from the end buyer when the assignment form is completed.

My preference is to use property management software that has a rent collection feature.

The way some buyers leave with a check is to close on the 2nd or 3rd of the month so they get 90% of the rent the seller collected on the 1st (assuming tenants paid on 1st or 2nd) 

When I mean SRED, referring to similar to green building, that is correct, coming from Materials, energy efficiency, passive house design, envelope, water collection, SIPS or MODULAR, etc. 

Could be those past bills were estimates and you now have an actual reading that “catches up” on past bills that were too low.Another thing is tenants running extension cords from hallway receptacles to run space heaters inside their units.If you have radiators, you want to keep heat on so that they do not have any potential for freezing up, but you don’t have to keep the temperature higher than say 60F.

Check it out:Recessions & housing pricesBecause 2008 is forever seared into our collective conscience, it's easy to forget just how unique that time was and how incredibly stable the housing market has historically been otherwise.Yes, but...These are some of the reasons why I'm still buying with confidence.

There is no way I would consider doing that extensive of a remodel job with tenants in the house.
