Even if you can clean it up, you will be forced to do monitoring for years.

If you turn them into collections, you likely won't see any money, but will feel better knowing you are hurting credit and future housing options; they may pay if they care enough.I'm not well educated on this, but heard landlords in Washington state can't share official deadbeat lists, so don't think your website idea will fly.I'd suggest monitoring the PM better (screening, inpections, nonpayment follow-up), contacting utilities monthly to make sure they are paid up, and accept this as a cost of landlording.

Yeah Jacksonville has decent numbers, I am going to have to continue to monitor Jacksonville for now.

Collapsing is a bit over the top for Chicago as well, though it is a serious matter to monitor.

(The other segement I am monitoring is the luxury market - over $700k - supply is a lot higher, especially dated 5000sqft mansions from the 80s in need of work; inventory has tightened down here too as of late - it will be among the first to rise again.)

The very best forms for renting single family or multifamily properties can be found at http://www.taa.org/The Texas Apartment Association.Their legal eagles monitor legisltation for rentals constantly then update the forms to reflect the new rules.There are a lot of requirements for what can and cannot be in a Texas rental contract.  

But until then, I'll monitor the ones I see. :) I have a hard time remembering the subject line for the ones I posted to update!! 

So do you monitor it yourself?

I plan to help BP members with small jobs and just not charging for the worker referral, will just hope for a return of good deed.my first client wants to meet me again to introduce me to his fellow investors, family members to be specific, he said he knows about 30 people who is flipping. since I gave him a deal that he couldn't resist, -- I only charged him about $50/day for monitoring, coordination, budget and schedule security --, he returned the good deed in introducing me to others.
