It takes me gobs of time each year to do all my data entry, I'd love to hire a fantastic person to leverage my time, never bothered costing it out...figured that if I had to ask I couldn't afford it.  

But, I'm of the opinion that the more I save the tenants, the better chance they can afford to pay me rent. 

More affordable property price2.

I had 5 str houses - regulation, the travel economy, broken furniture and demand for quick service didn't allow me to think about scaling...only managing and getting by. 

Prices are soaring above $200,000 for 1/2/3 brm houses, but rent is consistently ~$500 a room (or just to expensive for locals to afford, which is who I would like to rent/sell to.

They can afford a small rent hike to cover you tax increase.

The fact that you cleaned everything up after the 10 days' notice and nothing had changed during that time, she hadn't paid the rent AND all of the furniture had been moved out, I would have done the same as you. 

I can see on the applications what people make on average - rent has to be afforable as well; that does not mean cheap, but it has to be possible for people to afford rent.
