The Recorders office collects various fees and how the fees effect landlords as we do multiply transactions.

I mean for as a portal to collect rent, screen tenants, and list properties.

Now I hired a lawyer to handle it and yes that's more money and I'm still not guaranteed to collect if they award me any money because he may not even be licensed, because NC doesn't require you to have a license to do renovation on a job under 30000.

Then they try to collect deposit and rent and move a prospect into the property.

What’s is the preferred way to collect rent.

You could try to get a judgement against the borrower and attempt to collect any exempt property that person may haveNEVER EVER LEND MONEY ON REAL ESTATE WITH A PROMISSORY NOTE. 

Property tax collections represents about 59% of the City's general fund annual operating budget.

He is collecting in total $4500/mo in rent from that property.

In Dayton, you can challenge the assessments and if you are buying under market and very aggressive (paying an attorney to challenge assessments every year) - you will probably pay about 15% of your rent collection in property taxes.

My favorite way to collect property is to buy as an owner occupant and then move a year later and do it again.
