@Jim Burkett I just did a deal like this recently in Hammond. I would wait until you find one with more meat on the bone. Is that $25K negotiable? Is the current rent market rate? Also, with flood insurance, you never know when it will increase which will cause your monthly cashflow to be limited. I run the REIA on the Northshore and actively invest/wholesale there. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Thanks for all of the input, y'all. Spoke with another police officer yesterday and shared that there actually has been some other burglaries in the area (home and car). So they've upped patrol in the area. May be targeted but also a part of what has hit the area. I'm heading to go pick up a police report today and check out the house to see what I can do to further secure it. Considering motion lights, a ring doorbell (or competitor brand), or something similar of the sorts. I am talking with the tenant about if he wants to stay in his lease while the cops work to find the suspects and I continue to secure the property or start finding a new place.  Thanks again for the input!

Hey y'all! Interested to hear your thoughts! 

Just bought a house on November 1st of this year. A few weeks back. Inherited a tenant who works two jobs and has very few belongings in the house. Two days before I bought the house, it was broken into. The police believes it was targeted and that it was not something common for the area. Tenant thought it was the neighbors next door who have since been evicted. Only two cell phones were stolen and there were noticeable forced entry on a side door that has since been further secured.  

Today he calls and lets me know that someone stole his TV. He is calling the police to file another police report. Waiting to determine if noticeable forced entry is evident. 

I also own the house next door. No theft is happening in regards to them. Introduced myself to the neighbor across the street. She said in the decades she has lived here the only thing she had stolen was a lawn mower once. Years ago.

The inherited lease states that the tenant is responsible for getting and maintaining renter's insurance. Also includes indemnification clause. 

Once I bought the property, I put up no trespassing signs and secured the back door that had previously been entered into. 

I do plan to talk with the police to find out if this is a trend in the area or if they suspect it is targeted again. 

Any thoughts from other landlords? Suggestions? At this point, I am willing to break the lease with the tenant without penalty if he feels unsafe in the property. An alarm system in this neighborhood (C class, C-) seems above and beyond. 

Appreciate any input!

Come join us for a real estate pop up event! While in town, Uncle Karl will be joining us for a fun night of crazy real estate stories! Karl specializes in creative structuring and solving title issues which has resulted in highly profitable deals for him!
