The college girls are very sweet. 2 play sports on scholarship and work and have told me they pay their own way with their scholarship money, loans, work etc and have good references from previous landlord and credit score. 

I'm starting to wonder better ways to outsource this work and find solid tenants who will stay for the long haul. 

I'd still be working for "the man" in IT driving 60 miles each way to work and spending 3 hours in one meeting on one silly, meaningless report.     

Another option is to split the cost based on the number of occupants in each unit but this also means you'll need to adjust the charges as tenants move in/out, so it requires more work and I wouldn't recommend it.

If the numbers on the deal work, and the borrower has good credit and experience then I lend.

There is a lot of talk of the Worcester Rental Property Registry right now and there have been many public meetings trying to figure out how it will work and if it is legal. 

I'm a big fan of Wes Moss's work and used that as a guide to become financially independent.

It is work and there is money involved.   

Work and save.

A wise investor will not try to get rich quick with shortcuts.
