If you are the wholesaler, don't stress about it.  

I won't fault you for that because it may be outside your experience but when you call child welfare I can't stress enough that focusing on facts and risk to the child are going to get you the farthest. 

And as stressful, disorganized, chaotic, sleepless, exciting, scary, and emotional it was...

Some of the most motivated people I have seen is a landlord who is losing money and stressed out.  

It will be less stressful on you at the end of the day.  

Stressing fairness is good policy, you can be fair and discriminate, you can make exceptions, you can work with tenants.

"The cost is nominal" - depending on where you are, and also your definition of nominal.When it was all said and done, it cost me about $2500 and 80 hours of learning, test prep, and stress to get licensed.

I was so so thankful because it was stressful enough figuring out this issue.

If you aren't stressing over getting your money eventually, late fees are a nice income stream.
