One month rent isn't worth the time and aggravation you will go thru trying to collect.

Bryan, and Jason and all; I do apologize for the tone I posted in, I had an extremely aggravating experience here and the thread was the straw on my camel's back.

It wasn't an issue aside from aggravation and an extra expense.

Might save you a lot of time, money & aggravation in the long run.

What hurts a lot worse though, is going to work every day to an aggravating job working for an ungrateful boss who thinks he's the only one in the building who should prosper.

When things settle down, I may switch over to more real estate.I would say that a real estate deal that nets you the same as what you would get with a basic stock deal (say an S&P index fund) is no deal at all, since you could just invest in that mutual fund and save yourself a lot of time, effort and aggravation.

had a couple other jobs pop up in the interim, gave him those too, 75% down.please hold your laughing as you know where this is going.realtor lives with contractor, contractor scratched surface for a looooonnngg time. kept making excuses, stories. found out they have been sued before and he has aggravated theft charges out.so he claims to have had inspections, etc.

Is this going to be the most aggravating experience of my life?

To let you know the aggravation I had today I will say that when tried to get an estimate for an LLC, I had to choose a Real Estate Broker profession, and their was NO option for anything else.

One less phone call or aggravated tenant to deal with for you.
