Based on my financing options, it seems this property could provide $950/mo cash flow.I like this property as a rental because of it's location right near the light rail and a few other nearby conveniences.

I’m curious what their “reason” was when they appeared in court - convenience, safety etc.

My instinct is to insist on a full year renewal, even if it means losing them as tenants, because even if they give a month's notice, if they left, say, in November, it might not be the most convenient time of year to get a new tenant easily, but I wondered about the experiences of people on the forum with this issue.

However, now that I'm moving to self-management, I need an option for them to pay at a physical location (like a gas station or convenience store) that will allow me to get their rent without going to collect it myself.I don't plan to take on new tenants who can't pay online, but I also don't feel the need to kick these tenants out tomorrow.

You'll likely get stuck with no deposit, a lot of damage, tenants that stop paying rent conveniently around the time you take ownership and then drag out the eviction process because you have little or no proof of deposits, leases, etc.

We collect a non-refundable Pet Convenience Fee.

Thoughtfully executed to create convenient living with open living spaces, primary on main, oak hardwoods, efficient gas systems, new: roof, windows, bathrooms, millwork, interior/exterior paint, lights & more!

This is a quote for a complete gut and rehab of what is essentially a decorative/convenience item.  

In that case this is a convenient time to navigate that.
