(I skipped Craigslist entirely because I didn't want to bother with the few, low quality leads or the scammers anymore.) 

Dear BP experts,Sorry to bother you with this, but I do need BP experts’ help in understanding the cons of providing a W-9 Form to renters.I just got a request from my renter asking for a W9 Form for Covid-19 Impact Assistance application.

I didn't even bother having a discussion with him.

Don't bother giving them your card, they're too busy to contact you.

Equity kills cash flow and turns a investment into a liability.I understand fear of debt but do not understand why they bother to invest.

Do you have the financing in place to even bother going through all the details?

If you don’t think you can make at least 1.5% of the purchase price every month year round average don’t bother.

@Andy CavI am in an LLC with my 2 bother-in-laws and we do both flips and SFR.

They can also put you in a world of hurt as the rates are expensive, so don't pay anything that you don't have a solid ability to pay off at the end of the month/before interest starts.Don't bother with a Lowes or HD account.

As you might have seen on BP, you don't have to use a LLC for long term rentals.I wouldn't bother electing the S Corp status for your LLC.
