If they stole $5,000 in rent, it wouldn't even be worth the Landlord's time to go after them, which is an absolute travesty.If I were king for a day, they'd get a severe lashing in the public square and sent to bust rocks for $0.10 an hour until they paid back every dime.

@Carolyn Fuller great points.

Having been in this industry all my life literally from selling fuller brush door to door at 12 years old to getting my RE license at 18 .. being in numerous sales organizations over the years either working or owning.. 

@Brian Warren, I agree with @Carolyn Fuller.

@Mathew Fuller I'd be curious to know what you mean by "impossible to make the numbers work".

I started my sales career selling fuller brush door to door at 14.. it creates life long skills.My dad did door hangers for his real estate business for two decades that's the only way he got leads.but keep in mind he did it on steroids we had a huge printing press in our garage and I printed the door hangers after school. and then we would grab all the neighborhood kids on sat sun to put them out door to door..once he scaled it even bigger U pick up paper passers at the homeless shelters.. did this for ever.. cheapest way to create leads and hundreds if not thousands of them .

Like @Carolyn Fuller said, my younger guests usually are on AirBnb and older ones are on VRBO.

Just confused But yes, I guess I could just be direct up front, but I’m worried about back-lash or how they will take it.

@Mathew Fuller If you have an LLC, I work with multiple commercial lenders that can help.

Scott: you should google "piercing the corporate veil [your state]" to gain a fuller understanding of the limitations of LLC's and other entities for shielding personal assets.
