For some reason, this latest bunch of 6 tenants, 4 pay in cash. All have good paying jobs, and have been with me since 2019. but I make sure it is all reported.
Reported AND documented - in some sort of ledger or other (preferably) bound and numbered-page book. No such thing as too much documentation (unless you want to hide something, that is.) The IRS can be picky and documentation is key to satisfying them. Our small business had to submit a copy of our annual meeting minutes once to verify an "event" that had significant financial repercussions to the family business. The IRS was "happy" with the documentation which is a very good thing. YMMV
