I own two MHPs in a strong northeast market.57% (in terms of # of units) collected on or before the first97% by the 7th100% by the 15th (always a few stragglers)Roughly 60% pay online/PayNearMe, the rest mail checks.

If you didn't collect the full deposit allowed by law you should up that too. 

Problem: Joists are making impressions in the first floor ceiling and at a couple points in the walls upstairs and downstairs. 

What are the equivalents to “www.cozy.com” or www.rent prep.com” etc, what systems can be used in Canada to set up rent collection, security deposit and other payments?

@Brian Garlington I just reviewed a lease with the clause permitted reasons for eviction “such as non-payment of rent, breach of lease, damaging premises, drug or other illegal activity, disorderly conduct, rehabilitation of unit, landlord or relative occupancy.”In speaking with an agent he too was under the impression a buyer (landlord) could move into the unit they were purchasing, so I’m wondering if there were 4 owners could they all 4 move into a 4-plex and effectively require the tenants (on month to month leases) to move out?

John,You can do either get the lien and just collect the interest or the ultimate better goal is to get the property after redemption. 

A landlord may say, "not my problem", but in some circumstances the IRS can collect taxes from you or fine you if the receiving party didn't pay them. 

I was under the impression that the LA, if he or she desired, could reduce their commission to say 3-4%, to help make the deal go through if it made sense and wouldn’t otherwise go through, since in most cases they would only get 3% anyway.

I realize that on the surface the most practical solution is sticking out my W2, but I'm finding it has been very limiting in terms of the dulling mindset I'm surrounded by (yet I can't listen to podcasts, read, take phone calls, etc), the pay is only average, and love learning new things and have been with this company for a collective 13 years since shortly after college.

Not the $100k/door ones that rent for $1000/unit (or this $300k/door that might rent for $1600/unit)Honestly at these prices I’d likely recommend (if someone asked me) to buy a 5 CAP NNN Walgreens somewhere and collect mailbox money and be done.
