But it does vary wildly - I work with a larger firm, we have in house professionals who focus 100% of their time on state and local tax / sales and use tax, various aspects of international, employee benefits, trusts, estates, gifts, etc, in addition to various industry focuses - and as a result we charge higher fees because there is a significant amount of very specialized knowledge floating around that is at our clients fingertips as they need it. 

The key for me has been having the right teams in place and trusting them do their jobs.

Hello, I am looking for input from those who have used online rental payment applications for their tenants to pay their rent. 

I consider this a factor because eventually if I move out of the country then I would have trusted people around.2.

Ultimately, it all boils down to you—your experience, your availability, and your ability to handle multiple tenants, units, and issues (trust me, they'll all come knocking).Typically, for beginners, anything beyond a duplex can be overwhelming.

Don't trust people upfront.

If it were me, I would contact the caseworker and explain that you want to terminate their lease for non-payment of rent and other lease violations.

Given that I have cash for a down payment and could get a loan for a "cheaper" house is it really the ability to come up with the money that holds people back?
