This process keeps it clean and professional, unemotional, and doesn't put anyone in my office in danger.A couple more tips:Always be aware of your surroundings and the risk presented by the circumstances and the other party;If there is even a slight risk of the tenant getting angry, bring a witness.If you can't bring a witness, bring protection;Don't enter the home of a bad tenant where they can secretly attack;Men should never enter a rental with a female when there is ANY kind of conflict because it sets him up for a claim of harassment or assaultThese safety tips are true for unpaid rent or eviction, but should also be followed any time there is any issue that can cause stress or anger for the renter.

You spent way too much time here fending off all of the free advice, from other REI with a lot more experience, from professional contractors and others, as if you were under attack instead of taking it for what it was...a group of individuals offering free advice to prevent you from going down the rabbit hole.I want to apologize once again if my efforts to help you offended you in any way.Troll? 

I  have almost ZERO followers, but my lead generation skills far surpass theirs.Now, don't read this post as an attack on you.

I just graduated, switched degrees wasted some time, last two years I cracked down, took 15 credits and flipped my first two houses, almost had a heart attack I was so tired stressed and anxious.

Please accept my apologies for what must’ve seemed like a rude attack on your person.

 Always amused at watching the partisans contort themselves to defend what they were attacking 4 months ago and vise versa.My professional heart goes out to the C property landlords.
