She did notify me this morning that she plans to pay the november rent, with late fees. 

beware the auction fees, read the fine print on the site before bidding. 

It could be argued that it is an unlawful application fee. 

I like the standard 1% math using most of what is mentioned here with monthly PITI be 0.5% and let vacancy, repair, property manager be the other 0.5% (unless it’s a condo with a steep condo association fee).

This and the insane HOA fees make vacation rentals tough.

PayPal charges you a hefty fee whereas Cozy.co is free for you and for the tenants if they choose to send the money from their bank account.

Should the tenant be required to pay the CC fees if they choose not to do auto deductions?

Once you start managing for other people and are charging fees you get into the world of operating accounts, and trust accounts which you need to be a licensed broker to have. 

.$2,000 demo, permit fee and miscellaneous items.This is just a quick run down and like I said price will vary if you want to gut the whole place because at that point you have to add insulation etc.Hope this is helpful. 

Because (1) my tenant moved-in during the middle of the month, (2) MI takes a tenant finder's fee and (3) my mortgage wasn't due for two months, the ledger is irregular.
