Closing CostsMake sure you also budget for closing costs, which are a collection of fees and payments made to the various parties involved in your transaction.

Quote from @Joshua Kaufman: I'm having an issue with rent collection from a commercial tenant.

You can use it for rent collection, leases, tenant vetting, the list goes on. 

Basically, they suggest to buy a property with very little money, collect the cashflow, then refinance to pull money out of the property, buy more real estate for more cash flow and quit the W2 they hate.The first flaw is that a lot of the books written before 2020 will tell you to analyze more deals until you find one that cashflows.

Send a notice: The landlord can post a notice in a visible place and send a notice by mail to the tenant's last known addressRemove belongings: The landlord can remove the tenant's belongings and store themRecover costs: The landlord can recover the costs of moving and storage from the tenantSell belongings: If the tenant doesn't claim their belongings, the landlord can sell them at a public sale(End)Please only communicate with the tenants - all of them - in written form only so it can be used in any collection/court engagement. 

Rather than use credit score as a criteria, I reject for consumer accounts in collections and unpaid civil judgments.

US military or civil service or other government renters are low risk, high collectibility, steady flow.  8.  

Avail sends this to the resident, collects rent and deposits it into our account.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Those willing to go beyond that could be good partners for real estate investors.Traditional banks/Local Banks and non-bank lenders - If they are a portfolio lender, meaning they actually hold on to the loan and don't just collect your payment, then they have the ability to be flexible.
