If they wanted to keep the rental they should have made arrangements to pay the rent.

I'm a landlord and I will have a new tenant since my old tenant don’t want to renew the lease, So with this new tenant I want to use the auto-pay debit from tenant's bank account and send it to my account, in order to avoid late payments and stress.

I've made a goal to purchase my first real estate investment this year. 

I've hosted properties when I lived in CA before Airbnb clauses made it into leasing contracts.

Would love to connect with other first time buyers looking to start house-hacking in Southern California in order to support each other through this journey as well as with experienced house-hackers for some mentorship and just to make new friends. 

I’ve made a game of it.

You need to consider not only the "best" return, but also all of the risks you are taking on in order to get that return and the likelyhood of not only return on capital but also return of capital.

Purchase price: $630,000 Cash invested: $120,000 I've bought this property as a short term investment as well as a property I can stay at when I want to escape Seattle weather What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I made an auto-populating spreadsheet that I derived from the same four-square worksheet, and I'm happy to share it with the BiggerPockets community.
