If you're looking for quick returns then you shouldn't be barking up the SFR tree.

(this is usually NOT the best course of action)All the attorney will do is hire a collection company that has more bark than bite and rarely collects any money.The other option is to use a judgement recovery company.They usually pay the court costs and filing fees and then split 50/50 of whatever they recover.Sometimes they will buy the judgement outright for real cheap.In this case you get your cash right away and move on.Judgements depending on the smarts of the tenant can take 3 months to years to collect.Some tenants are judgement proof.This can happen when:1.The funds are retirement funds in a bank or social security where money can't be taken.2.The tenant works a job where their income is at a level where they cannot be garnished by Federal Law.Even when you can garnish you can only take 25% each time.If their are other judgements already garnishing then the 25% gets split up among the garnishments.85% of judgements never collect a dime because of the work involved.Even if the judgement company you employ chases the tenants for money the tenant may pay or they might just file BK if they have other debts.A chapter 7 costs thousands so it would depend on their other total debts and how much your judgement is for.This is why it is important to carefully screen tenants.They need to have good credit,a good job with long work history,etc. or something where you know you can collect if they default.If you have multiple tenants staying in one place and they all make minimum wage it will be hard to collect on them later versus one person showing great income.Hope it helps.

My PM told me that prospective tenants may not make an offer on a rental due to a barking dog adjacent to the property.

I'm seeing, so far, new folks and I know some older ones are asking about progarms etc.Everyone knows I'm pretty anti-guru, my bark as about some of the claims made and some suggesting some pretty shady stuff.

I wouldn't want someone to have to live hearing barking all day etc. so we have not entertained it.

They also kennel their dog sometimes in their basement right next to the common wall and his bark is like he is in the same room as our master bedroom.

We knocked on one door and heard a loud dog bark.

They cut off the bottom or scratch out the form number and Board of Realtor's logo and information as if they aren't stealing the contract with copy rights, but the Board doesn't bark about it, not sure that would be an issue if you were trying to enforce your contract.

The good out ways the bad, but for all of you who paint the picture of GET RICH QUICK, you are barking up the wrong tree.I encourage each and everyone of you to take your time and build up your wealth and increase your knowledge.
