Lesson from Radiant Young Adults night in Tampa – "Staying Power"Last Thursday's session reminded me:- Stay consistent- Play the long game- Consistency always beats periodic bursts of intensity- Consistency might feel “boring,” but that’s where growth happensStay the course!

I'm renting a 3 bdrm-1 and 1/2 bath rowhome to a tenant family of four adults who are habitually late with their rent payment each month.

Quote from @Raghavendra Jakkani: Yes, you should screen and approve every adult living in the home, whether they contribute to paying rent or not.

Ive had several careers throughout my adult life, (finance/retail banking/ lending for 12 years, and ive been a union carpenter for the past almost 8 years now). 

For example, my ad will state whether we accept pets, that we want provide income around 3x the rent, and that every adult must pass a credit/criminal screening.

I will be dealing with adults, not handicapped individuals.

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

If the violator is an adult child it's a lower risk because the voucher holder just has appeal and to prove the felon moved to another address to be reinstated.  

Hey guys Im new to REI and really life as an adult haha.

Two able-bodied adults who make life choices that result in eviction, but the landlord should feel sorry for them?
