Interesting question... I was just chatting with a friend, he's very successful in real estate for over a decade, he has very strict requirements to live in his properties since he didn't want to get the type of people that would wreck up the place, not pay rent, smoke, make noise etc. so he was asking me, what I think about a dancer, is it the type of job that you should be suspicious about such people not being so upper class etc.? I seriously didn't have an answer I never thought of it. I'm wondering what you think

@Sami Gren

Have you read "Crushing it in Apartments and Commercial Real Estate" by Brian Murray?

This brings to mind a funny story he told about a surgeon living in one of his complexes. (If you haven't read it - I recommend it.)

Assuming he meant an exotic dancer and not a ball room dancer, I would just let the dancer know that he/she is not allowed to operate any business from my complex (legal or illegal), so, if he/she is making any money on the side, I don't care as long it's not happening at "home".

Bottom Line: You'll always guess wrong about who you think your best/worst tenants will be.
