Hello, i have a tenant in Phoenix AZ area, that has been late in paying rent for last 2 years, due to me being out of state and schedule i finally decided to evict him.

It's your agent's job to play nice with others while also keeping your best interest top of mind.

There is really no risk of you losing your investment as long as it is insured and you do your job as a landlord … fill the property, collect rent, maintain it.  

I did eventually get them evicted and thankfully they didnt trash my property (though they left a lot of trash that cost me $500 to get rid of but o well).The other time this happened was a tenant I moved in who had a good job at a hospital, the hospital had a program where they paid the security deposit and first months rent.

I am local in Arlington and do pay significantly less than $200/pier but I have developed a strong relationship with my foundation contractor and give him multiple jobs a year. 

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

About 50% of the answers have to do with family or job.

And who knows what is in store with the jobs market.It also depends upon the election and what policies are implemented.I am hoping prices continue to drop in multifamily, and we see a pick up in activity.

I am looking to build my portfolio for cash flow through MTRs and STRs - I run a STR management company as my job.

Can the schedule E report from Stessa be used for tax filing?
