@Brian Weiner Not any of those neighborhoods specifically, but I believe his neighborhood that he did the flip in is called Red Cedar.

One could have a hundred doors, but is in the red each month.

If they push back on this or do not have clients could be a red flag.Lastly estimates can go up.

Anyway, code enforcement asked to see the inside of the apartment & i agreed as i was doing some improvements inside like painting etc.....afterwards he nailed a red tag to my wall which i didnt pay much attention to because I was literally unaware of what it was or what it meant.

But my risk/reward needle for me personally is in the red for the overall economy for the next several years. 

Drove by the California Green Line stop yesterday and the houses look beautiful but so much news out of E.

it looks beautiful!

Many I’m seeing have beautiful work but aren’t even licensed with the state.

Floor to ceiling tile, vessel sink, frame less glass shower door, and beautiful wainscoting outfit the bathroom.

There are a number of red flags for the tenant you are considering - the bankruptcy, the charge offs - all of those indicate they aren't handling their finances well - and YOUR RENT is about to become the biggest part of their future finances... so that should give you (and your mother) pause.
