"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure": careful tenant screening, inspecting properties regularly, and perhaps most importantly: serving the notice to pay or quit promptly every time rent is late are key steps to take to avoid situations where one might need to evict. 

I'm also excited to learn what other people are doing in order to prevent issues, place a great tenant, and make sure they will pay consistently while taking care of the home.

Sometimes there is a reason that lots are still vacant in higher-end neighborhoods, and that is because they are sized or zoned in a manner that prevents the "By Right" construction of a building that will provide an adequate ROI.

My thought was to finance the solar and charge tenants for monthly bill - this may prevent me from being stuck with extras on utilities  and increase rent  by including electric utility on lease.Has anyone looked into solar -?

Late fees capped at 10 dollars for the first 1,000( was originally 1,500 I think) I’m all for preventing predatory fees, but 10 dollars is not fair.Definitely lowers incentive to pay on time.2.Vague language as to what constitutes an “reasonable fee”.

Maybe that prevents other people from selling your home without you knowing.SSN is not for identity purposes, it is for reporting purposes.

Privacy laws and Agent decorum would prevent them from providing the seller information.

This will prevent me for refinancing later than I'd like.I'm worried that I'm going to get myself stuck and not able to cash out and work on the next deal.
