There are a lot of interesting opportunities, but also a lot of kinks to work out.

There was a podcast episode that discussed having an income to fall back on in case things don’t work out (there will be some Ls along the way — all part of the journey.) 

I’m new to BP so I’m looking forward to seeing how their contractor matching services work out.

And if that doesn't work out, I think that creating passive income and having properties that will continue to acrrue value is very appealing.

Congrats Subbing work out in the high desert aint for the faint of heart.  

CA OR NV AZ WA etc.also this being an investment property I think a work out with the lender is whats in order.

I remain positive that everything will work out!

Depending on the amount of months left on the lease, you could add him and if it doesn’t work out, serve a non-renewal notice.  

This will be my first investment property and I am hesitant to just hand $30k+ to someone and trust it'll all work out.

Aloha,Given that this is the first month using the Avail system, unless you specifically provided the tenant in advance with information on the lag time from first hand experience, I would let it go and simply inform them of how the timing did not work out, and have them adjust their "pay" date accordingly, reminding them of the "late" date and penalty for future payments.
