@Bruce Cook first find out what the law is, if you are under rent control you need to thoroughly understand the law and raise rent probably to the maximum you can (if rent conrolled).

Able to keep the tenants and increase rent by 50%.

It normally takes 4-6 weeks for a W-7 to be processed by the IRS.Here is a link to the IRS website, listing Certified Acceptance Agents by Country:IRS Certified Acceptance AgentsUpon receiving an ITIN number from the IRS, a copy of the IRS letter showing the new Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) must be sent to LPM.Note: LPM will not manage rental property for foreign owners who refuse to acquire an ITIN number.Form W-8ECIThe Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires property managers to withhold 30% of gross rents to ensure foreigner investors will file a tax return at year end.

@Jay Samudio great advice from @Melanie P.Also, in our 24 years of experience, a tenant that has to get emergency relief typically ends up behind on rent again very soon.Be sure the tenant cooperates with providing documentation explaining why they fell behind and that the problem is highly unlikely to repeat.If they won't cooperate and state, "none of your business', then what does that tell you?

So when I have paid rent, less the credit, they failed to contact myself nor the owners and employed these harsh scare tactics against me.

Hello,We have been renting the current property for 3 yrs now, there is normal wear and tear that is common with property use.

I like looking at deals and helping others with said deals .. more B to B than  worrying about if I am going to get a rent check..

If I buy another house that I rent that loses 15K on paper, would that offset the 15K I would be paying in profits for my other property?

I appreciate your insights and feedback:I have a single-family home I need to rent out long-term.

How do I rent properties to Sober Living?
