I've spent a lot of time in these area over the past 5 years, and like many places in the Bay Area they have changed a lot.  5 years ago I wouldn't dare walk alone in these areas, now I'm rehabbing a house in a "bad" part of Richmond and it's a completely different feeling. 

@Steve Vaughn ; @Joe Splitrock ; @Jay Hinrichs ; @Joshua D. are just a few I can name right off the top of my head, plus a number who have posted in this thread already.

MOrris on his marketing materials touts that doctors and nurses  are living in these homes and that C and D are easier to manage than A because these folks are just thankful for a home and less work..

Hey @Guillaume D. , are the CIIQ events held 100% in French?

A-D are just labels and don't mean much.Are you asking how to assess crime rates?  

@Manolo D. - Are you doing payroll separation for workers comp?

How dare the investors have the nerve to allow a tenant to destroy a home with rentals.

This is a problem for any property manager, but as most of you know (especially you Josh, who’s been turned away by one property manager thus far), we managed properties in high risk areas that most property managers would not dare take.

MJ,Dare I ask if you have actually put his Marketing to the test here in Chicago yet?
