My spouse and I are at odds on the importance of an LLC. We already have good credit and our portfolio so far is only rentals.

Should we get one to protect our personal finances and build business credit?

Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

Scott Ray thank you I've sent the notice in the mail and emailed him a copy. Hopefully this will be simple he'll pay or just move out. If not I'm prepared to move forward.

@Patti Robertson Thank you Patti I'll be giving you a call today!

Scott Ray thanks for all the info I found an attorney who charges an initial fee of $1200. I can find an eviction lawyer to send the letter for 50? Does anyone know a good eviction lawyer in VA Beach.

Thomas S. for the record I did screen this tenant, checked credit, spoke with pass landlord and employer. I think something happened with his family and he chose to miss work. I make sure I do what I can but I can control what I can't control. Thanks for your input

Ok from what I'm reading I should definitely get a lawyer and I already email one I worked with before. Hopefully I'll hear something first thing.

Yes Bob B. Could you please message me that info. Thank you

Thanks a lot guys I'll start with the notice. Could I write the notice myself then get a lawyer if I have to move towards eviction because I don't have a lawyer on retainer and I also don't have money to waste?

Hi Investors I need your help! So I have a new tenant who has only lived in my property for 2 months. He told me after rent was late that he needed a few days to pay, he actually gave me a specific day and so far I haven't received it or heard from him. He is 9 days late today. This property is in Virginia could I start the eviction process? Should I start it or reach out again before I send a non payment notice? He's a nice guy and he stressed how sorry he was and how much he loves the place but haven't reached out since.

I only have two properties but I have a screening criteria to help keep emotions out of the process. Be sure to speak with pass landlords and employer to help you decide. Concrete evidence to back up your end result (this part is black and white for me)not stories everyone has a story but it's business not personal don't take the risk if you feel unsure. Good Luck
