Even if the Tenant closes their accounts, Obligo will guarantee the payment and go after the tenant to collect.

I like to collect quite a bit of data on owners (family members, alternative addresses, deceased info, BKs and judgements, etc.) when I skip trace.

Also, what you'll find about having an STR is that you want to use it most times that you'll collect premium rates and that can create a little internal conflict haha. 

We've thought about subbing out to a proper "property management" company but we really don't need help collecting rent or expenses (this is all done electronically online) or even finding new Tenants on the odd occasion when we have an Apt turnover (we use Brokers for that) ...

@Abigail Rodriguez There's a handful of Philadelphia based "Gurus" who collect  mentorship fees from new investors and feed off the exact rhetoric you just wrote.

You're spot on and this is exactly what BiggerPockets should be talking about because if we draw awareness to this we can work collectively to stop it.

@Kelly Schoeppler my approach is to add the subletting tenant as an "additional occupant" and continue to collect rent from your current tenant.

It's in your best interest to collect an insurance certificate from this individual as well.

Our rentals have remained rented this entire time, and we are still at 100% rent collection on time every month. 

@Cora Gilmore they are legally required to give an owner a 1098 for ALL funds collected on behalf of an owner.
