I've filed the eviction, they've been served with the paperwork, and now all that's left is for me to wait for the next steps and hope I filled everything out right (Denver county's process is making my head spin, and I'm having to do this without a lawyer because of cost) while in the meantime my tenant is otherwise just ignoring all my texts and notices and also (it feels like) acting like nothing has changed, still having people over for dinner, still walking in and out of my front door like no problem...leading up to this point I've had multiple informal conversations with this person about the toll their unpredictable behavior around payments has had on me.  

Make sure the property presents well when people come to look at it.

As others have said, I would leverage the Housing Authority with these people. 

I won't do loans for people if it's not in their best interests to do.

I've helped over 100 people do this strategy from out of state and country (primarily Canada, France, and Israel).

People call me all the time asking about such companies.

Interesting question and one in which a lot of people don't take into question when they consider self manager vs using a property manager.  

In this industry, people know people very quickly and reputation is everything-- when working alongside others on their financial futures/supporting local economies, truth is the hallmark of success.

I've done this with my properties because I'm well known in my small town and don't want people to know what I own.LEGAL PROTECTION: By placing your assets in an LLC, you are legally separating them from your personal assets.
