All of the tools that you use to try to figure out if a potential tenant will be a "good" tenant revolves around trying to answer those 3 questions.

I offer an online payment portal to submit rent payments via ACH or CC - they "couldn't figure out how to use it" so I set us up to accept Zelle payments.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I'm all about finding problems to solutions and figuring out how to make something work rather than simply conceding that it cannot work.

I would review your process with how these investments are going so far and figure out what's working and what's not.

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

Scott, depreciation for a rental,  even if she has not taken it , would have to be figured during the sale. 

When I shared the success story that's all that was - maintenance of course you have to factor in but on the raw deal over 4 figures in net cash flow is very good (at least to me). 

This figure is for C class properties.  

Are the comps from the Bigger Pockets per unit figures?
