In before the lock

Let me know if you get any collections to take on the case. I’ve sent tons of inquiries and no one ever responded. Collecting is a pain, and I don’t want to spend the time and gain unnecessary stress doing it myself. 7% return for a rental is pretty terrible though especially given the...
