@Kenneth Tiedemann you can use personal account, just be sure to follow your state and local laws about security deposits.If you're parents are living in the home with the tenants, then they are also exempt from most Fair Housing requirements, but you should look into them anyways.You'll want a good lease to protect your parents and to be able to evict if/when necessary.Check their home insurance policy as it probably needs at least a rider to cover renting.

If too much trouble, then at least make sure the tenants have renters insurance with at least $500,000 of liability coverage, and landlord is named to receive notices if policy in danger of cancellation for non-payment.

Is there a comparable service that charges a reasonable flat fee for sending the letters to the prior tenants, and then reporting the unpaid obligations to the agencies? 

If comparable units rent for $1,200 with the tenant paying the utilities, then $1,200 with utilities included is a pretty significant price reduction and it's unlikely the tenant will leave.

set your criteria, and then hold firm.

Passive income and retire early, or leave your W2, get rich quick, replace your W2 income - they will tell you that you can have this wonderful lifestyle and will give you insights on how to get there (that you can get from any business book about grit, consistency, hard work etc) and they will bounce around in their presentations to make it look really hard, and then get you to sign up for the five figure training which is 1 on 1.Whats comical is I am in note space and I can name three people who have high dollar training and one has filed BK several times and the other two owe others millions of dollars from bad deals........

Hey @Ryan Brown - if you've provided the splits and tenants have ability to control their own temperature, then I can't imagine why you would be further responsible for the tenants unit temperatures. 

@Don KonipolDefinitely short tactic don’t have time or patience to draw things out- just my style.Speaking of a few hundred years - what is crazy is president john Tyler born in 1790 one year after George washington was sworn in has grandchildren alive today….Yep grandchildren… useless fact of the day.

I am a co My nephew and I were on the deed from 2019-2022, then he transferred to me as sole owner as a “gift” since he doesn’t want to pay mortgage anymore.

Then I started working with a realtor to view properties and made offers.
