Listening more than talking is one of the best skills taught in the book and I appreciate you emphasizing it as a recommendation.

If your tenant's finances get much worse than this (40% or higher towards rent), then when the car breaks down (as they do from time to time) or an unexpected medical issue comes along (because, who really PLANS on getting sick), they'll have enough income cushion to weather that financial blow AND keep you from evicting them.
