Saw a story about a couple in Georgia who lost over $13,000 in rent because they couldn't evict a non-paying tenant. The tenant used the appeals process to stay in the home for nearly a year without paying. Data from DoorLoop shows 42% of landlords own a single unit. Unlike big corporate investors, small owners can't easily absorb a year of lost revenue and legal fees. Even with new 2024 state laws meant to speed things up, the court system is still causing massive delays. The couple is exiting the rental market until laws change. Something to keep in mind if you're looking at single-family rentals for income.
