This would have left the house vulnerable to additional vandalism for another 6-months.  

@Robert Steele it all depends on what the homeless vulnerability rate vs the market rent.

I have people I trust now but getting started was scary, I felt very vulnerable.

Understanding why some areas naturally see uncontrolled and unsustainable appreciation that make them vulnerable to crashes is how you create strategies to mitigate your risk. 

Or are they just preying your perceived vulnerability in your age...? 

The fragility of their egos is a sign vulnerability.

make a list of the things you fear on the day you most feel confident. make another list for the things you fear when you feel most vulnerable. the things that match are good things to be prepared for.

Lets say you mow down a pedestrian causing significant bodily injury and a verdict comes back over your auto policy, guess whose investment properties are vulnerable?  

By deep cuts in services to the most vulnerable, that's how. 

Which also means that the homeless veterans will not have 'previous rental history' for you to verify.At the end of the day all I am saying is that they (section 8 & VA-SH recipients) are still human beings and for anyone to say that they 'heard horror stories' & 'rumors' so they stay away from a federal program designed to help the most vulnerable & veterans in our communities is flat out discrimination by all means.As real estate investors, we are in an amazing position to do something we love, make a lot of money and help other people at the same time.
