Or combine it with some land divisions and value adds it can be pretty neat returns.. and as passive as they get.. the only threat of course is fire and other than the Tillamook burn back in the early 50's forest fires on the WEst slope and in the coastal mountains are rare. 

Things are different if the tenant poses an eminent threat to the safety of neighbors or the property however.Here's an interesting article I came across that touches on this as well as eminent domain laws in Japan:http://www.japantoday.com/category/opinions/view/e...

I would like to do it publicly in another threat and see what some experienced investors have to say.

If they sue you in federal court, I hope you have very, very, very deep pockets.If the threat of a lawsuit is not imminent, then I would get all properties out of your name anyway, and as fast as you can.

If they are responsible (via their negligence) for damaging your property, they will be protected from having to pay out of their own pocket or from the threat of you suing them.

Once that threat is removed they may fall back into delinquency or default.  

What I do not understand is how an older air handler is a threat to the property, what Damage can they cause that the insurance would have to cover?

Threat your properties as numbers.
