A couple of thoughts that might help.I recast a loan at a point where I had paid enough extra to allow recast (I think it was $5k over).

In a perfect situation, the payment will still be delayed (even if by hours) using this additional system.And secondly, many of these vendors have "clawback" provisions where, in their terms of service, you give them permission to go back into your account - even weeks after the fact - and reverse a deposit that was made by your tenant.My system is simple, allows for tenants to pay through multiple means, and does not cost me anything extra.

It's easy to obtain, costs very little, and doesn't require extra, on-going effort to maintain.

I want to upgrade my house up a notch in the couple years and get a couple little extras like that.  

I will begin the process of suing him, hoping to add extra pressure.

Knowing cap-x projected out years is not an "extra credit" kind of information, it's fundamental necessity. 

Earning an extra 3% on $2k that you’re likely holding for less than a year.

If they have nowhere to go or don't know how to find a next place, and no relatives who are helping them, you will be the only person that goes the extra step to help (even with advice) which means you will get the sale at a better price and help someone.

The tenants have paid and if someone is thinking about moving out then an extra surcharge that hits if they aren't out in time for us to turn the place for a lucrative AirBNB short term rental can help massage the move out timing.That said with MTR we do not have the cleaning costs that eat up a lot of STR gross, and its lower hassle in some ways.  

Otherwise, you won't have the extra funds necessary to cover the rising costs of goods and services in the future.What causes rents (and prices) to increase?
