Can I still make an LLC and just collect the rent and put the maintenance and mortgage payments through that LLC?

This way, maintenance, repairs, and taxes are the responsibility of the new owner, while you continue to collect principal and interest, potentially as tax-free income.I'm not a CPA, just a heads-up 😄, but you could possibly avoid capital gains tax with this approach.

As a property manager I had every incentive to collect before paying out the owners.  

Remember, if you have to carry a gun to collect rent, you made a bad investment decision.

If they trash your place and you send them to collections, they won't care because their credit is already bad.If mom and the son were living together, and mom had really good credit, then there may be some wiggle room to consider them.

I recommend ActiveCampaign, but you can also use ClickFunnels, HubSpot, and Salesforce.Offer a lead magnet to attract investors and collect their information. 

So I'm happy I continue to collect rent for the 3-4 months that it will take me to evict.Obviously, I'd be much happier if the tenant wasn't trashing the house and I didn't have to kick her and her 5 kids out. 

While I have made the property substantially better, and in turn am collecting good rent, I am limited in what I can do going forward with respect to ROI, and there are always expenses that can be made/issues that come up.

The last 2 years I have collected over 80 different bottle and gotten my hands on a good bit of the staples.  

If the landlord pulls up in a flashy vehicle or posts his car collection on Insta, he makes himself a target.
