You can collect rent in a different name, you may need to register the name with your LLC as a DBA - Doing Business AsIt all depends on your state.https://startupsavant.com/how-to-file-a-dba-in-pennsylvania

WE are asking that if they lost their job, we would like a letter form their employer for our file, i addition, we ask that they pay as much as they can at this time.

What does concern me is that a redemption request was filed back in January, before you know what hit the fan, so why haven't they complied then?

@Zulf H.If they are not working due to COVId-19, they can file for unemployment benefits.

I was thinking about filing for an LLC on my own and having the attorney prepare the operating agreement. 

You're not likely to find a US tax professional that knows both US and Mexican tax law well enough to advise on both.And yes, you'll probably need a US tax professional as your wife inherited an asset from a foreign estate, and you do have exposure to some esoteric filing obligations there.

I just wanted to have my own copies in file just in case.

I would ask the current owner for the tenant files i.e. what did they use to qualify the tenant....look at where they are employed. 

Given the pattern that existed long before covid, I am planning on filing for eviction (I realize it will not happen for a while but want to get it filed to get her out as soon as evictions open up again).
