Not knowledgeable at all as I haven't even begun but it seems to me that extra money is good. Disrespect? Disrespect would be not paying the late fee. Rules? Breaking the rules would be not paying the late fee. If a renters attitude is "Screw you, here's an extra $100.00" Well let them have an attitude! Too late to try and re-negotiate with the property management company but I would say that the contract should have gave them the same percentage of the late fee as the rent. in this case 8%.

Thank you! just the info I needed. I see this is a very busy place. I really hope to stay up on things by hanging here.

Don't know much about anything in this field. I do know some of the basics about screening tenants and finding lease formulation help but I don't know if or when I may get started.

I'm 59 years old, disabled, and living on social security. I do have money saved and money that is willed to me. Enough to buy and renovate 2 or 3 houses in the older cheaper neighborhoods in the Saint Louis area. I'm trying to keep some houses on a list to get going when the time comes. Are the Zillow rent estimates worth any consideration or are they just pie in the sky guesses?

 I couldn't decide whether to post this in the beginner section or the buying real estate section but I do need the info in regards to decisions on purchases, so here it is.

Thank you.

Joe
