people who have not payed their rent in the past go around looking for private landlords. that said I rent to a family of 7 that was living in a motel for 2 years. i figured that if the could pay a cheap motel 1000 a month they would be happy to pay me half that. I just dont look at as a buisness. I wouldve been better off selling. but I know those kids are alot happier. my advice would be to pay a management company unless you like getting involved.
