While you can technically file on the 2nd, my attorney said he has known many judges to throw it out since there is that 5 day grace period before a late fee is incurred, which give the illusion to the tenant that rent is due by the 5th.

It is much better to be patient for the right tenant then to just throw one in your property because of the fear of turnover costs.

Talk to them and get some sound advice before throwing your money into a deal.Let me know if you have specific questions.

Throw the damn application in the garbage and fire the realtor.

One thing I will throw out is the new Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Law that was passed in California, allowing you to rent out a 2nd unit even if its only zoned for 1 unit.

Apartments have always been my first love and will be my retirement plan, however flipping is the gasoline I can throw on the fire to speed the process up.3.

If you're good friends with one tenant and not with another (this applies more for apartments) the "non-friend" tenant that gets hit with a late fee may throw an unjustified fit. 

Renting is an option but the Seattle area market is still so high that it’s hard to just be throwing money at the wall, I’d rather be putting it towards a mortgage or something I could own.

And unfortunately, I do not have $700K to throw around like all the flippers and private equity firms. 

You would be surprise and what can throw you off.
