Prospective tenant / Amway
Hi. I own a duplex and one tenant has always been a hassle to collect rent from. Always late, barely scrapes by. He is moving out next month. In some ways I pity him because his entire life is absorbed with work and, on the side, Amway. Everything he consumes seems to be Amway. And I've heard that Amway people rarely have any money.
The duplex is large, about 1500 sq ft or a bit more. I showed it yesterday to a new prospect. Turns out, this prospect is also Amway. She was amazed that all of the products in the duplex (still occupied) were identical to what's in her house.
At one point she mentioned that they had problems with a previous landlord, and sued them. But as I listened, it did sound like they had legitimate problems at this previous residence.
Two questions:
1. Are members of the Amway cult notorious for not having money to pay bills? Stingy? Nitpickers?
2. This person mentioned that they may want to purchase a Rubbermaid storage shed to keep outside. Because there is no garage for this duplex. There is room for it but I don't like the idea. What is the general opinion of landlords when it comes to outdoor storage sheds?
Thanks for any advice.
