They simply don't make enough money, whether that's from child care challenges, lack of education, living arrangements, Section 8 and other safety-net golden handcuffs, lack of willpower, etc.

However, you can find properties in the Yaupon section of Oak Island, on the second row, that are located outside of the Special Flood Hazard Area, which lessens your operating costs due to not having to pay for flood insurance (link to online map here). 

YMMVI am not going into the legal, safety or political points of hiring these guys and using them.  

A lot of long-time landlords do things to save money like rent out illegal ADUs (not up to current safety code) or accept under the table rent payments to not report it the income to the IRS - they're just asking for trouble doing this in a pro-tenant city. 

You needed a safer car when you got married then one with more safety features when you got kids. 

All of their portfolio was in Indi.I think if you're buying in good, improving markets, then even with turnkeys you'll see price appreciation and rent increases over time, which will increase your safety margin and profit.

A door that doesn't open is probably a material defect (safety issue, if nothing else). 

The typical buyer is 1031 exchange, retiree, estate planning, foreign buyer, or ultra high net worth that wants cash flow but safety so will take reduced yield for quality.We stick to strong suburban to urban locations.

My soft structure apartment needs to have the carport reinforced for earthquake safety.  

If you've done your math, added all of your safety margins, made an offer, and the deal doesn't work out, on to the next!
