What are strange places you've conducted business with your STR
This is for collecting rent or other activities involving the tenant. I've collected rent in bars, restaurants, casinos, WalMart, my driveway, at an armed security gate at a refinery, a medical clinic, a hospital room, and ATM's at a bank and convenience store.

Wow! I've rented to about 1500 people, and have never met 2 of the people that pay me. One was a lady that would call me on the phone and give me her credit card info, one of her workers was staying in a STR of mine. The other was a phantom guy, he would call me and tell me the money is in the microwave, but he'd never be home. He rented from me 3x over the course of 2 years, and I never met him.
But I did meet some people that claimed to have met this phantom guy. They describe him as a white guy from south Louisiana with dreadlocks. He is my Kaiser Sose.
