But you really don’t want the liability of the tenant being able to claim it as a fraudulent charge at the end of the month, skipping payment, and getting 2-3 months of living out of you before you notice anything is wrong... not to mention any damage they may do.Not saying it’s not the right answer for you, but I might pass this one by an accountant / tax guy that’s familiar with this as well.

They are likely positioning themselves to skip out on their debts.

Keep that handy for when they skip town.  

And you can mix it up too ... maybe mail them a few times a few months in a row, then knock on their door the next month, then skip trace them to find their number and call the next month.

So skip out on Brazilian hardwoods, expensive chandaliers and granite countertops.

My plan is to owner occupy, and jump right into commercial multifamily, essentially skipping the "SFH" phase most people seem to do. 

The MeetUp meeting and the breakfast meetings are free to whoever wishes to attend.  

I would still avoid people that skip bills regularly, have evictions, or felonies, particularly violent ones.
