I've collected thousands in security deposit from my guests who've caused damage.

@Michael Darten  Most property management agreements have the monthly PM fees based upon a percentage of rents collected.  

US military or civil service or other government renters are low risk, high collectibility, steady flow.  8.  

I created an LLC to collect rent and manage any expenses related to the property. 

This group is an incredible collection of midterm rental hosts who support one another by offering advice and suggestions, being a sounding board for each other, offering mentorship and collaboration opportunities and share our respective networks.

Bird in hand is better than 2 in the bush, especially when the two in the bush do not have the money.we are seeing a lot of companies now try and get seller financing and then arbitrage it to renters - similar to STR arbitrage but just arbitrage it with a loan and collect the rent and if the tenant stops paying they walk away and you are stuck with the home, the foreclosure and the subsequent eviction.

Quote from @Joshua Kaufman: I'm having an issue with rent collection from a commercial tenant.

Bankers will be asking for proof of this filing as you get loans in the future.https://fincen.gov/boi  

If it's zero, put in a zero, line through it, or something.If you don't use a manager, line through the entire clause and then you and the renter should initial the beginning and end of the line as proof it was agreed to.NHG  (D) As used in this Lease, Landlord’s “Authorized Management Agent” means ______________________________, address:___________________________,who is also authorized to act on behalf of Owner for the purpose of Service of Process and accepting Notices  NHGYes, you would check the line next to the form(s) of payment you accept.

At the end of the day, 99% of sellers and brokers only care about your surety to close (I leave out 1% that might care about HOW you operate your deals, regardless of price paid).The fact that you have never closed a large transaction AND are not providing all your proof of funds up front and/or talking with brokers about where the money is coming from, will give them some trepidation.
