Maintenance hasn’t been too bad so far, and I recently made the decision to sell my business, so now I’ll be living off my rental income.My question is: What should my plan be from here?

My wife and I have overhauled our personal budget to reflect the 'pay yourself first' approach (allocate in order: income comes in -> invest -> donate -> fixed expenses -> variable expenses -> fun $$).We are looking to see what experienced people generally recommend for a holding tank for that 'invest' allocation while we target our first real estate deal.What financial vehicles have you guys used that works well for this?

I used the think lowering the price would attract "worse guests" but I have experienced bad guests at all price points. 

What we really need is a single internet "bad tenant" list to warn each other.

Did you guys close and everything go smooth?

And like you said one out of 10 thats not bad.. maybe you just got that bad tenant it happens to very landlord. 

Is this a good or bad idea?
