I moved into a situation like that, but they began doing major work after the first month and I had to endure it for an entire year. 

Not only are you enduring extra cost now, but are exposing yourself to lower rents and lower resale in the future.

Their 3 kids have to endure it.

I'm heartbroken over the fear and death of loved ones and stress people are and will be enduring for some time. 

Do you think your tenant should have to endure more than you?

Pit bulls were bred by changing mytochondria to get dna that can endure pain, and horriblest ways imaginable.

And frankly, knowledge is only one piece of the "puzzle", the main component is rather the personality - endurance threshold, confidence level, risk tolerance, common sense, persistence and resilience.  

I have had to endure many headaches with entitled tenants (2 properties with inherited tenants) who feel they are more owners than I.

Hi all, I’m late to the party as I have endured the same things with this property management.

I buy value-add and they often have below market rents and so when their lease ends/if it has ended when I'm the new owner I put them on a month-to-month lease; I also don't raise to market right off the bat (personal choice).The reason for M2M is if they end up not being a good tenant I can give a 30-day notice or can offer them a new lease at a monthly rent that makes me endure their nonsense with a smile on my face.
