If you are looking to just generate deals, then maybe you could charge for leads or ask for a finders fee on closed deals. 

I wanted to get some insight on how much a Contractor should charge for a site visit to a property.Thanks

I know if I can get a 3-4 bedroom house I should be able to charge 4-5 hundred a month per room which if I get the mortgage payment low enough then covering that, property tax, insurance, etc. should be doable with a little extra to put back towards any unexpected expense with the house.

There was another landlord who would evict people by throwing all their stuff on the curb, but keep the baby pictures and only give those back when all the fees he charged were paid back.

Not sure if that's how plumbers charge for their services, I know nothing about plumbing.
