If a sewer pump station stops pumping the poop up hill to the sewer plant, poop from an entire neighborhood can start flowing backwards and will take the path of least resistance.

That is the path of least resistance here.

So far I've resisted 16' wide homes, in part due to their higher cost and higher transportation cost.  

It is rot resistant here and maintenance free--perhaps the why and wherefore.I do not see much wrong with the place as is, but your market and overall design plan are key.

And if they seem to be resistant to leaving - try offering some $ incentive to leave (and sign a release of course).As for the security deposit - personally, I would not try to keep it due to the sub-letting.

Potential deal volume via SEM can depend a lot on your market - low population density can mean low search volume, for example, and some markets are very resistant to REI-style marketing (Salt Lake City is one that springs to mind as having been historically difficult online).BUT - The technical barrier to entry for SEM means there's typically far less competition for investors that are able to get it done, whether that's with paid ads, SEO, or both. 

That way if you encounter resistance in the future, you can show perspective tenants the video. 

Kwikset's boast on their website that they are drill resistant and pick resistant, but I've drilled them and I've picked them.

In my area, "tamper resistant" outlets are not required over counter tops like kitchens or bathrooms.

Keep in mind, generally speaking, water seeks the path of least resistance and seldom defies gravity... more times than I can count, the source of the water problem was not where the evidence of the problem was discovered.Good luck finding and resolving the problem.
