I seen someone make a VERY interesting point on bigger pockets around this topic would you agree? I think this is a very creative alternative because most people will wait until the last day.
"You give a discount.
example rent is $950 due on the first. If it is paid on the 1st I discount $50 to $900
if paid after the 1st its $950. no late fees or grace period.
why because if rent is due on the first and you have a 5 day grace period then rent is really due on the 6th. and that's when they will pay."

@Dontrea Riser I would give a 5 day grace period but you can charge a late fee as well
What do you think would be a fair late fee?

I am so glad my government can make my business decisions for me. What would I do without them?

5 Days seems to be the answer I hear the most. Are you lenient with the late fees or you come down pretty hard?

They'll take advantage of you if you don't charge a late fee.
Yeah that seems reasonable, I agree.

Open to replies/opinions from ANY market. Should tenants get a grace period? Should they be charged late fees? Share your experiences with collecting rents and making grace periods/late fees work in your favor. I have heard a lot of different answers from people in my market but all generally the same. Looking forward to see what you guys have to say about this topic.

Do you feel this needs to take place in more places? How do you feel about the effects of gentrifying neighborhoods?

But, in general you should be earning apprx 6% on your money - thinking multi family here - and this is just an average - it may be more or less!
Nice! Thank you for your feedback. Yeah I like multi families a lot more than single family investments to start out.
