While it is impossible to predict what the future has in store.

We would have bought new with the second replacement, however they were not delivering until the end of the week so it was too long, so we went with a reputable used appliance store in the area that offered a 30 day warranty.Regarding accepting partial late payments, you have to reissue a notice?

People need to eat too and they're not telling grocery stores or restaurants they have to give their food away for free.

Even those are less common now because it's so much easier to go to the store and buy it as needed. 

@Jason Ma The thinking behind that is that businesses like that do a lot of research and only locate in good areas, same with large anchor department stores.

@Christian Cummings in that price range we would use an in stock big box store counteretop if the design permited an instock installation; I like Menard's countertops best-- an 8' straight high res is just under $120.

The lower income areas tend to have lower income focused businesses and services; Buy here pay here, rent to own, pawn shops, clinics, cheaper merchandise stores, etc...

If it was $9,000 in collections from anywhere else (like a store credit, or car loan), it'd seem like a decent tenant application that maybe you could justify. 

It has a ton of popular fast-food chains in the city as well and a few major big box stores.

You can automate your invoices, collect payments online, sign leases and store them too, screen your tenants, track maintenance, the list of benefits is truly quite long.
