On this one I say "Show me the money!"  You need proof  Not your problem- one I would say the tenant needs to address.  The onus is on the tenant.  Best of luck collecting. Hope it goes well for you!!

I hold a property built in 1859. Persons will often ask if there are ghosts.  I tell them the only ghost is the Holy Ghost!  Tell her that the only ghost in that fridge is the Holy Ghost and that the Holy Ghost is in the business of keeping things cold and crisp.

The answer is it depends- like so many real estate investment questions.  

It depends on whether you want to be hands on or not.  

It depends on whether you have the time or not.  

It depends on what your time is worth. 

It depends on whether you are ready to evict, have hard conversations, and receive calls in the wee hours of the morning.  

It depends on so many things.  

There is no rule of thumb.  

Use what is best for you in the time and situation you find yourself in- whether that be self-managing or farming in out.
