People do not always stick with their first thought process during times of turmoil 

I guess I have been hesitant to bombard people with the same message three times.

If you do LTR, then try some of the smaller cities and college towns. 

Next time you talk to the renter that's paying late all the time, Maybe mentioned to him or her without getting too involved in their personal life, they should seek out a temporary job a few hours, a couple of days a week until they build up enough to get caught up on the rent, and make a little pool of money to use so they don't get behind again.Some Temporary jobs can be fun, like handing out rubber id bracelets at functions to the participants, or if the person is more blue collar they have jobs for those people too more suited to their tastes. just my 2 cents.

I'm interested in knowing what the 1) Townhome (TH) rental market AND 2) room rentals are like in Hyattsville, MD (20781) and College Park (20782), specifically: For TH and Individual rooms rentals:- The demographics of those who rent (e.g. students, starter families, commuters, etc.) and behaviors/preference.- Going rate for TH and individual rooms- Demand and saturation levels (how long does it take to rent), length of stay, etc.- Other market trends about the areas TH and individual room rentability - Frequency of renting versus selling in the areaI look forward to the insights you all share!

This is an area of a lot of ex-pats and longtime vacation takers, or people that have rentals there.

I've done this with my properties because I'm well known in my small town and don't want people to know what I own.LEGAL PROTECTION: By placing your assets in an LLC, you are legally separating them from your personal assets.

This is far from impossible and many people have a lot of success managing their own STR, but it sounds more involved than what you're looking for.

The concerned neighbor requested us to do something to put an end to the endless stream of unsavory people coming and going from that rental, with the main tenant in the middle of all of it.

I would also find a way to sleep at least 2 people (if not 4) using convertible sofas and/or murphy beds.
