Tenant debt collection expert Bill Gray is seeing a disturbing trend:

"We are getting more and more collection requests from owners who inherited the existing tenants from the seller," Bill explains. 

"Problem is, all they have is the lease. They don't have the information we need for collection. Sometimes they don't even have the debtor's Social Security Number."

The demand for tenant debt collection is growing, and you need to be one step ahead, especially if you are shopping for an investment property that is subject to a tenant lease. Read more.
