Third party services are becoming more and more prevalent these days.

Maybe I'll get into higher priced, more prevalent areas at one point in my life but for now, I'm good!

Social media is so prevalent and pervasive in society now that you shouldn't be surprised or offended by someone simply attempting to safeguard their own interest.

I also think HOAs are more prevalent in the suburbs and I'd rather avoid an HOA (unless "I" am the HOA and own the whole building).I agree, probably easier to find quality tenants, or just tenants in general in the suburbs or the urban downtown areas.

Unfortunately with how prevalent the problem has become, it's becoming un-economical to have the companies treat the rentals as the cost is more than a month's rent, and virtually no companies will guarantee a fix due to tenants often not complying with requirements to clean up.So, my question is about landlord self treatment.

Prevalent?

I had an Air Quality test performed, and low and behold-- the most prevalent particulate was canine dander.

I know being a HML for many years I have seen enough of my payoffs were I was the only one who made money and or the borrower lost money.. far more prevalent than one would think. 

What insurance costs are prevalent to the area?

Most go out of business.Hope that helps,Sam ShuehSam this is a great point.. when folks ask why a rental is lost to foreclosure there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff and one of them is the business owner who finds themselves in trouble and now has to rip his rents and not pay his mortgage this was very prevalent in those days.. and it happens even today.. just too tempting when you have a bad stretch.. so then you have a foreclosure gets posted on the door and most of the time the tenant leaves  and there you go a vacant home
