Majority of the foreclosed homes were due to baby boomer passing away and their kids won't pay for the mortgage.

They also were meant to dry their clothes on hot in the dryer, and I didn’t see any laundry being carted to the laundromat, either.They were headed down the eviction road, I believe, but their decision not to stay due to rent increase probably made it much easier on me in the long run.

I'm 22 years old living with my young wife who is due to have our first baby girl this upcoming month.

You will provide one to the tenant and keep the other one.The reason why it is important to revise the lead certificates during your inspection contingency is due to the fact that number 1, kids specially babies can get sick and number 2. if the seller did not  do a lead inspection then he might not be doing the City's rental inspections either. 

@May Emery I actually just read a news article this morning saying that seniors are choosing to stay in their homes at a higher rate than whats typically been observed in the past. https://www.housingwire.com/articles/46757-baby-boomers-wont-downsize-homes-anytime-soon

A 30 year old person who just got a raise at work, just got married, and just  had a baby trying to explain the same downsize ehhhh... that is a steeper hill.Are you moving closer to a new job?

But I still need a place to live, and moving every time I get a new rental doesn't seem ideal (or am I being a baby??)

My 1st thought would be river rock but note that the tenants won't keep it up & it's going to be all weeds by the time you've got your next turnover.VEGAS baby  do a Vegas rock landscape zero maintance  put plastic down rock over. 

“Don’t bother with........” wearing nice clothes when looking at foreclosures and REO's
