Then at the close of business on the 1st they would tape a note over the drop box stating that rent was now late and that only certified funds in the amount of rent+water+filing/legal fees would be accepted.

s) but if they direct deposit they can make a small deposit and it will be considered accepted and nullify your case.Also, make sure you are charging a late fee 5% in NC that seems to motivate people as well. 

Is the 200-500/month HOA fee worth it?

If you have other great tenants already, let them know about the new place and offer a $100 finder's fee. 

@Thomas Franklin Is it illegal to wholesale with a license  or  to be a real estate agent that pays a referral fee to a wholesaler.  

Most people/companies will pay them off at this point, just to stop running up attorney fees.

Which means getting deals below market value or with opportunity to market to investors with a fee/profit built in for you. 

I never dealt with a Private lender before but that seems pretty weird to a fee for an LOI.
