Now you are probably stuck with them for 4 more months (and may not even be able to collect a penny, if some proposed NY bills go thru).

Mean while, the lender, or investor, or aggregator that holds the loan, must still pay their bond holders for this loan even though they cant collect the payment and cant foreclose.

Will collect applications for each of the potential tenants and include all on the lease.

I am working from home and collecting a full paycheck. 

You are only taxed on your 'profit' meaning you enter the full amount of rent you are collecting, but also expenses (interest, property taxes, condo fees, insurance, etc). 

I think if I buy my own property with 100k down and collect rent from my stepbrother who’d live there (approx 1700 a month) I’d be paying the same I do in rent which is (2k) + his rent and I’d have my mortgage covered and have equity but would be a lower tier home for 800k here in LA and would eventually wanna move.. 

@Kesete Thompkins in addition to a receipt make sure you collect their W9 before paying.

Just collecting the payments and retaining their fee for doing so. 

Take a class on debt collection practices.

I’m sure that 3rd party collections company got a decent cut of the collected amount, something the management company could have gotten on first attempt.
