These types of tenants often do this because they don't want to save in advance, so they take the rent owed to you and use it to put down on their next home.Recommend you do a better job of communicating to the tenants that you will pursue every legal collection option if they don't pay last month's rent.Also, why are tenants NOT staying with you?

It is safer to stay away from properties with too high a yield because the risk is quite high??

If over 50% of guests stay on a transient basis, the property is subject to depreciation over 39 years.

My prior tenants of 5 years (and the ones prior to that, who stayed for 2 years) never had an issue.

Even if you purchased your home at the very tip-top of the market before they dropped by 19%, if you would have simply paid your mortgage payments, mowed your yard, and stayed in the house for 6 years (you had to live somewhere during that time), you would have made money on your home...and that was the worst drop recorded.

The question originally asked implies, that the only difference between a good investor finding a property to buy and a good agent getting a listing is in who is knowledgeable and who will put in the work.NAR says there are about 1,580,000 members in 2022 (latest I could find)80% of those do little to no transactions - that's a huge failure rate-about 1,264,000 agents suck at their job.There is no other occupation that tolerates that high of a level of failure.You have to be crazy to have a real estate agent list your house.I can’t even get agents to return phone calls.
