Proactive ways to mitigate the '50% rule'

Hi BP Community:

Looking for proactive/preemptive ways to minimize the 50% rule to maximize your NOI on passive income properties. In previous podcasts, I've heard metering units, managing the property yourself, automated web-based rent collecting sites, etc. Just wanted to get some best-practices on one thread here and understand the cost/benefit for each.

Thanks,

Rich
