Be patient.

One can believe in a safety net and basic social equity and protections without rewarding bums and criminals.

Having  ample  safety net funds for a  4- 6 month period  helps too :)   good luck

Be patient when building- nothing is ever on time Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

@Ayyoub Reza in Michigan, if a lease is at least 12 months in length, you can charge tenants for maintenance and if not a health & safety issue, require them to fix it.Why would you have a lease end during the Oct-Feb timeframe, when it's the slowest time of the year for real estate sales & rentals?

Safety is in the eye of your guest.

Wait until they finally move out unless it's a safety issue.

Rental inspections are typically health and safety related.

Be patient, stick to a schedule and don't be discouraged. 

When it comes to ensuring the safety and integrity of your property, it's natural to want to conduct a background check on your tenants.
