Deposits & late fees
Quick question: How are you coming up with security deposit prices for your units ? are you charging a certain percentage ? half of the rent ? or same as 1 month rent ? Also, what about late fee ?

I usually look at what the strategy in your market prices are at to be competitive.

@Delonta McClain I have, but for me I can cheat and look on Padsplit, Zillow and other platforms to see what the average rates are.

For the Padsplit properties it is looking like Dec may be on par with my March month, at least I hope. :) We should come in over $220k gross. The good news is my net is higher than I thought, currently @ $77k without Decembers income yet. For my independent property I just had my first profitable month @ $690. LOL Hey, I will take it, especially trying to fill vacancies during the holidays. 2 vacancies left in the solo house and also 2 for the Padsplits. Happy Investing!

@Aaron Ameen I am doing independent moving forward. I will keep the padsplits for now but when I retire I will probably start to peel them off to independent over time or sell them off to move toward properties on the East Side. Time will tell.

@Aaron Ameen I did because several people asked me to do it. I thought it was a bit early since I only have about 4 months of experience. People seemed to like it. I will do one at the 1 year mark and see how it goes.
Cameras
Where do you put cameras in your Coliving properties? All common areas, entrance and backyard?

Laura looks strangely like me. :)
Mini Splits?
Do you all use mini splits throughout your rent by rooms? Or do you just control the centralized thermostat?

I use central air for the most part, but do have a few mini splits. I use them if I convert the Arizona room to a bedroom. Then I advertise it as a renting point.
