Alternative rent models (STR, MTR, rent by room, etc.) do not necessarily do better and are more work.  

An alternative could be putting all your properties under one LLC to start, then reassessing as your portfolio grows.

This city continues to grow and evolve, making it a strong choice for real estate investment.

From what I see all the people answering to me here (and there are so many) are just coming against and refusing to agree with my simple statement: "a landlord is not above the law or norms by its personal choice or presumed capability to judge what he don't know" or as well "a landlord cannot deny or miscarriage a service to a stranger without a known valid reason and at the same time pretend to be operating professionally or loyally to the moral"Basically I'm telling if you are not able to do your business correctly it would be better to find someone else than you, mainly when your ideas about "squatter" or fair treatment are coming from ignorance or completely invented. 

Others are responsible with their budget and can stretch a dollar.If they are excellent renters, I would offer them the option to renew and let them make the choice.

Real estate investing is largely about the choices we make as owners.Over the years, I’ve worked with many teams and companies, and I always recommend SDIRA Wealth because they build the properties in the best markets, and consistently excel in meeting my top five criteria.  

What kind of resources do you recommend for finding a good first choice? 

I only allow tenants to pay on the 1st of the month but I would consider alternate payment schedules dependent on the situation and tenant if they asked.

So they really had no choice IMHO....Welcome to the landlord world I guess.....makes ya wonder why we do this sometimes, huh?

There are alternatives note investors have and thats new origination's where of course you will have some bummers but your not starting out with a defaulted borrower at the get go.
