Not counting late fees, they owe $4k in rent from May-July.

If the title fee estimates get a little crazy, maybe you have a close friend that is a title agent or attorney that you can work into the deal in exchange for them arranging settlement.Just spit balling.

The only reference I have is for my duplex and triplex properties in CO; sewage, water, garbage and share common area fees paid by me; tenant pays gas and electric.  

My normal fee for one unit is 8%. 

What I've been considering is installing a few "smart outlets" (outlets with usb plugs as well), a dishwasher, a garbage disposal in the kitchen sink, new LED light bulbs throughout, and some light caulk work.

“I expect this to be installed, want this to be painted this color, want this appliance swapped out.”

Hey, what I have done In the past is provided my services to other investors where I partner with them and build the house and charge a management fee+ equity.

(Side Note: if you really want to jump your credit score in a few months (because it takes time for the reporting to update), and if your disciplined with your spending try this;1st) I went and did the math to see what my positive cash flow each month off my active income (let’s say you’ve got $500 left over after you go through your monthly spending avg. which is all you kick out vs what you bring in)2nd) Go get a credit card with 0% interest for 12mths with NO higher than 5% transfer fee.( their are some with low as a 0% transfer and I had got that one on my 2nd round cause my credit wouldn’t let me at first)3rd) do a transfer balance after 24- 48hrs of opening the card (Nope you don’t need wait to actually get the card just call in and tell them over the phone to send a Blanche transfer check to your bank account in the amount of your car Balance; because you’ve only got a 30day window of transfer with 0% interest for the 12mths)4th) PAY YOUR CAR OFF IN FULL, and take your old car note (let’s says it $450mth) plus your $500 positive cash each month and add all $950 each month to pay against the balance on the card5th) in 45days start checking your CreditKarma app (its free) and don’t worry about the 5% if it’s larger than your car loan % because once you’ve paid your car off your score will go up and in a couple months of $950 your car will be paid OFF not in 2more years or so...Thus saving you probably more than $2,000 in interest on the car loan (so you get to keep $$) and time in payments.Your saving money on interest (keeping it in your pocket thus making your pocket bigger!
