**Verify Employment and Income Directly**: Since they might lack a U.S. credit score, contacting their employer directly can help verify their job status and salary.

One option you might try is to go to Bi- Weekly Payments, this way you collect on the same cycle as their paychecks.As long as both of your tenants still have their jobs, I would ride it out, the 2nd thing is how are they maintaining the property, are you going to have to spend thousands of dollars on repairs because of damage to the property.

They also don't get paid until they get you insurance so it's free for you to use until the job gets done.

Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and software up to an annual limit.In 2024, for example, taxpayers can expense up to $1,220,000 of qualified assets.This election can apply to many types of tangible personal property, such as machinery, equipment, and off-the-shelf software, which are used predominantly in your business.Limits on Section 179 ExpensingAs attractive as Section 179 may seem, there are limits.For tax year 2024, the maximum investment limit is set at $3,050,000.If your business places more than this amount in service, the amount you can expense is reduced dollar-for-dollar over this threshold.In addition to the dollar and investment limits, the amount of your Section 179 deduction cannot exceed your taxable business income for the year.This means that even if your business invests heavily in qualified property, the deduction could be limited by the business’s profitability.Also, not all property qualifies for Section 179.Real property, like buildings and structural components, generally does not qualify unless it is "qualified improvement property."

I believe I can do a good job as a Landlord once I have tenants and when I'm up and running.

The state’s population influx and booming job market create a more even demand for housing.

I have no affiliation with Ben or his company, just thought he did a great job.

A realtor is not needed for this if its just one unit and a smaller ADU in my opinion PLUS that is not really an agent's job rather a Property Manager.
