When we had tenants struggling to make ends meet due to the pandemic, it was a huge relief to pull up their account and see that we had collected that last month's rent in advance in some cases.

Therefore, we have had to hire an attorney each time we've had an eviction, even though I "self manage" and am local.I'm hoping to add my name to the title only, so as the "owner", I can bring these cases to court myself without the need for an attorney.For context, the properties are in Upstate NY.Thank you in advance for your collective thoughts!

Imposing a fee is one thing; collecting it is another entirely.

The rent I am collecting is $650, only expenses are tax and insurance, which equal out to $120 combined. 

Hi all,

What percentage of rents did you collect in April?

And my biggest question is what is the best/easiest way to collect rent.

As a real estate agent who doesn’t collect weekly checks and some lenders ask for paystubs.

I’ve already collected from a few tenants early.
