Who Do You Use to Get Rentals to Pay?

[Account Closed]

I'm on the smaller side when it comes to size. I come in at a whopping 5'2. I keep hearing people say they practically hire bouncers who are big intimidating looking guys. Who do you get to encourage payment of rent and to do your evictions? Wondering where to look for someone who can help when it comes time to have to do something like this. I'm in no rush at the moment. Just planning ahead.

Small but mighty!  When it comes to collecting rent we do not use bouncers and in fact visit very very few properties in person collecting rent.  That is not very scalable and very costly. Generally speaking people are encouraged to pay rent because they like a place to live.  For that that don't and collection efforts break down that is what the courts are for.  We leverage the courts and then the bailiff's (or the sheriff depending on the city) to do evictions properly to avoid liability down the road.  If stuff is left in the home we simply trash it out after we have legal possession and get to the business of doing the tenant turn.
