If this does not persuade them both to leave after filing 3-4 L9s in quick succession you can then evict for consistant late payments.

Having strong tenant screening practices in place helps - my manager charges $40 per credit check and doesn't make much off it, but checks court records, criminal records, credit, and so on.

Follow the law and serve proper documentation to the tenant if necessary, if you are consistent and emotionless it makes it harder for the tenant to get upset.

It is very possible and if you study, practice, and act on your goals, you will achieve them!

I always feel like a bumbler on those tasks working alone, no matter how much I study and practice.

Encourage them to practice, practice, practice!

I see that if each tenant flattens their boxes all the time, it will reduce the cost but this is not done consistently.

Sounds like your goals are consistent with many of us....financial freedom and security.

Find and adopt a system you follow consistently (networking, generating leads organically, managing your database, managing your time, managing your marketing effectively and cost efficient) 2.
