I paid one of my contractors to do the clean out.  

We then paid the company after the work was done.We planned to fix up the rest of the house as we could.After several months we realized the friend that had offered my a wife a "dream job"  was in financial trouble and not able to pay her.

In other words,  you've paid twice.I would prefer you make them pay full rent and then pay them for services rendered just like any other employee or contractor.

The tenant submitted all of the information and paid the $25 CAD fee.

So, I asked to be paid at closing.

@Ned Carey Can I ask what other paid services you are referring to?

I paid a plumber guy $350 to use a tool to clear the clog between my house and the street.

My personal loan will be paid off in 5 years.After I took out the personal loan and used it to buy the property out right, I had 60k in equity in the house.

Theres also a royalty program for bringing other KW agents into the fold, you get paid every time they get a commission, it would take an in depth explanation.
