A more general observation on this topic, intended for you and any future readers - find out from the agency that has control over this area exactly what it takes to LOSE grandfathered status.

Hi all,I have an ex-tenant that owes back rent and damages after they left that the security deposit doesn't cover.I read some forums here and am getting some mixed signals on the process of collecting debt.The way I read it is you can just go to a debt agency with in my case the signed lease and also the security deposit transmittal showing what's owed and the collections agency can legally take it from there.

It’s a fairly sophisticated operation, with an unusually long time lag between first identifying the unclaimed funds, tracking the beneficiaries, obtaining a contract from said beneficiaries, gathering all the documents needed for “proof”, dealing with numerous government agencies, and finally hopefully having your client receive the funds and you getting paid.

There really isn't anyway to contact hospitals or travel agencies to get direct housing, because I would say 99% of travel nurses take the per diem stipends and do not take company provided housing. 

If the report is from a reputable credit reporting agency and includes all the information I require, I see no reason not to accept it.

SOME OFFICES HERE AND THERE GO ROGUE AND DIRECT A MORE TRADITIONAL ASPECT OF THEIR AGENCY (HOWEVER, THE FRANCHISORS OF THE COMPANY PROMOTE THAT WORKING WITH INVESTORS SHOULD NEVER BE IGNORED- THEY HAVE A 3 HOUR SEMINAR FOR THEIR NEW AGENTS COVERING EVERYTHING FROM ASSIGNMENTS TO DOUBLE CLOSES (YES)!

My understanding is once these agencies receive a complaint, and start an investigation, they will all work together.    

After that they go into collections where it hits all 3 credit agencies. 

You either need to become an expert and do SEO yourself or hire an agency that has a complete plan and roadmap for getting you to a place where organic motivated leads are flowing to your site at a rate where you are taking down profitable deals each monthMike Plactere of We Buy Long Island Homes Fast is a perfect case study of someone who used this approach and is dominating his market.  

I own a travel agency and have monitored booking calendars similar to our villa for 6+ years, and knew the ROI would be there.
