The lesson may be obvious to you but not others: One of the unfortunate aspects of successful real estate investing is that we encounter the 'garage sale of civilization' (term appropriated from Cantu) and we get to deal with their bad behavior.

Or should i say criminal behavior which doing this and wiring in your money then they go dark on you is of course a criminal act.

What's significant about a commission complaint is that the commission investigates and if they find probable cause for bad behavior on the realtor's part, the realtor can be fined and you can be compensated with damages, all of this without having to go through civil litigation.

If you base your behavior as a landlord on emotions, you will fail.

Quote from @Winter Heintz: I'm sorry, but criminal behavior is what sends you to jail and I don't want criminals renting my property.

We look for a history of behavior of the particular animal.You can probably pull a common theme from this and maybe make some sort of weight restriction.

As much as it sucks for owners, PMs, and other tenants, just because we are LL does NOT mean we can suddenly magically control other people's behavior and get them to do something.

It has solved a lot of problems right off the bat, as it allows me to classify all slob behavior as a "lease violation", which pretty much guarantees me a win in court here in AZ.  

You could analyze the interest expense differential if you wanted to geek out but this is mostly going to be a behavioral decision up to you, no right or wrong only what's optimal in your case.  

for some – especially on this board.In the eyes of the law, you will be a lender, period, and your paperwork, licensing, origination, and even behavior, must comply with the same laws as every other lender in your state; large or small.
