Before I started out a decade ago, I tended toward books and information. 

So if “they are never late” and they are late, we will tend to roll with them to try to help them out if the reasoning makes sense.

Most markets tend to slow down towards the end of June.

Summer time, rates are higher as these guys are busy, so they tend to throw out big "if they pay great" numbers to control their business flow.I agree, if it's there and it was working, it needs to be fixed.   

And yes I tend to do that sometimes... start with just one question and then think of a second one while the fingers are doing the typing!

Here are some key points to consider:Accessibility: Residential properties are often more accessible to individual investors, especially those starting out with smaller capital.Tenant Stability: While turnover can occur, residential leases tend to have shorter terms, offering more flexibility if you want to adjust rents or change tenants.Market Liquidity: Generally, residential properties are easier to buy and sell due to higher demand from individual homebuyers and investors alike.Emotional Appeal: Homes and apartments can have a strong emotional appeal to buyers and renters, which can influence demand and pricing stability.Purchasing: Residential real estate will require a down payment of at least 10% of the purchase price. 

Since scammers tend to be lazy, they're more likely to use unmarked photos from someone else's property instead.

Just a couple scenarios from my personal experience:1) Sometimes I tend to pay only "statement balance".
