I would be curious as to what your lease says, and if the parameters consider something like a pest problem, your responsibility or the tenants responsibility.additionally, it is hard to find a quality tenant that is going to be a good steward of the home and will be long lasting with the longevity aspect, especially for that price for an apartment. 

instead of 3 forks and 3 spoons, I provided 8 full sets of higher quality silver.  

Affordability and community seem to be huge drivers—people want out of the high-cost, high-stress urban grind, but they still need quality housing options.I’d love to hear more about your small-town revitalization group.

I have clients who use tools likeniche.com or roofstack to initially gather insights on crime rates and neighborhood quality.

@Brian Bisdorf It's always important to vet tenants but as a general rule of thumb, the better situated the real estate, the better quality of tenant you can attract.

Hi Scott,You can achieve sustainable growth by investing in high quality, well-managed properties that will generate consistent returns over time.

I’m Nate from Lead Flow Realty, and I wanted to share how we can support your real estate efforts in Texas.We specialize in generating high-quality leads for investors and agents across all 50 states, including Texas.

Focus more on the appreciation and principal paydown and this should lead you to better quality real estate.

When you start going down the chain for quality of tenant the odds of going dark goes up.

Buy the worst property in the best location you can afford, fix it up to the quality of the surrounding properties, and you can force a lot of appreciation quickly that way.
