@Drew Buckner, Ken has given you a boatload of good information here, so I will skip right to my perspective.  

From an investment perspective on this area, the vacancy rate is very low, rents are healthy (reasonably high, but not NYC/Boston/Bay Area crazy), and the tenant quality is about as good as it gets. 

Some people have different mind-sets and outlooks/perspectives on different things in life.

You don't want it too high or you won't get calls and you don't want it too low or you will get undesirable calls.When a property gets stale, it's often times helpful to pull it off the market for a week, reorder the photos and freshen then republish it so the ad looks new and fresh.

I'm relatively new to all this as well but let me know if you have any other questions and I'll do my best to answer with the limited knowledge and perspective I've accumulated. 

It is very hard from my perspective to get rid of tenants who pay on time and who take good care of the inside of the property.Now on the other hand, if they don't pay on time and are otherwise a pain about different issues then I completely agree with not renewing their lease and just moving on.

From my perspective, it really doesn't have anything to do with teaching the competition, as there are plenty of houses for everyone, but more to do with time management.

I truly appreciate your honest comment, which (unfortunately) confirms my concern, and provides further insight.The following site also has a nice overview of how safe, from a seller's perspective, are various payment methods: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Payment_methods (Note: I have not the faintest clue what a bitcoin is, but they seem to have the same problem that we have: safe electronic payment methods.)In summary, I conclude that there is no suitable electronic payment method for rent collection, that is governed by the rule of law rather than the judgement of private intermediaries the rules of which can be gamed, and that cannot be reversed at will by a smart "professional" renter.

Instead of doing what others do by waiting for success to then teach the world how, I will be documenting my progress, or maybe lack there of, as I push through.This way the struggle is real and fresh and not forgotten in the aftermath of accomplishment.I hope my experience is of some use and please feel free to contribute. 

Hope this helps from the technical perspective....but it likely does not resolve the difficult relationship that is created from this scenario.
