i did. we verbally agree to 1000 sqft gross rent on 5 month trial for $1000 plus $160 for their portion of cmp and oil bill. with no security deposit by him and no repairs required by me. 

However; as it turned out we could have started in that fall, and been done by spring, but it still worked out, We also had to familiarize ourselves with subs and it was a bit of trial an error, but overall, 99% of them were great and we'll use again. 

New to this forum but happy to learn from all of you more “seasoned” landlords.We are in the middle of evicting our tenants in Ohio, have jumped through all of the hoops, and are awaiting trial.  

What I have done also is if I have to front the $ is I get them on a trial payment plan to increase their monthly payment to pay down those advances.

I personally tend to think that some people go looking to make trouble, and then they try to get out of the trouble they made by excusing their bad behavior as some sort of "trial by fire" of my customer service skills that I failed.

I'm initiated a free trial and have a call with a rep to see if they are able to provide what I'm looking for. 

If IRS reconstructs your income with the bank statements, you need to have a audit trial of what all the money coming in are for. 

They have a trial version so it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot.

Either through a formal program or through trial-and-error.The problem with trial-and-error is that it can take years to figure it out, and the mistakes you make can end up being very costly in many ways...the biggest of which is wasted time.The question is if you decide to invest in training, which should you pick? 

They won't hold a "trial"at the house, but he (your father) may just give the keys/title back if you have the cops there.
