And the Linder case ended up with a $61,500 fine (After the Federal Court reduced it from an original $76,500 fine) for simply asking in casual conversation "So where are you from?"

I'll be curious how much this is a deterrent or if simply rates will increase to counter it.

Now, I am no expert but I know that there are loop holes around that. 

The real goal of eviction (in my opinion) is to simply get the tenant out so you can gain control of the property and re-rent to a new tenant that will pay rent.If the eviction goes all the way (where tenant does not vacate, you get a Writ of Possession, the constable shows up and you/your crew remove belongings to the curb) the tenant will have it on their record for 7 years.

.- Given the very low rate I am simply considering paying off existing higher-rate mortgages on my rental properties, essentially "refinancing" at a lower rate. 

What made my interested in this deal was simply the numbers, he is an out-of-state investor, and will be using a property manager to manage this property.

What matters isn't how much something costs but simply how it is paid for".

I've also considered doing a "test run" with an SFR in the Cleveland area and if that does not work, simply converting the unit to long-term and adding it to my existing portfolio.  

Holes in drywall, ripped furniture, stolen items.

Will also see how far I go with getting an elevation certificate and diving deep into this rabbit hole.
