I think they are a little worried about having new owners, and so, we may need to be very diplomatic in our handling of them.Do any of you have any advice on dealing with preexisting tenants?

Only in the core crisis countries—Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States—have households deleveraged.

The financial crisis hit there just like everywhere else but not as bad as other places and it's been improving lately but not as much as other places.

Didn't know who to ask, but my "vote" button is off the rails... just thought I'd let you know.. no big crisis, just when you get around to it.

I have my eye on a nice 9 unit building but my partner is saying that with the European debt crisis there might be better buying opportunities in the months to come.

On stocks you are trading paper, sure the company you are investing in has assets and some intrinsic value, but unless you own the preferred stock you could find yourself losing 100% of your investment during a crisis.

But now is the time to get ready for the next crisis ;) We meet up at least once a month in SF, so come out and say hi to the rest of the Bay Area investing crew (next on March 19th).

It all about jobs you don't have to look to far .Ohio,Detroit from last crisis, to ca,nevada,fl, for rampant market bubbles This only happened  7 years agohttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/27/cities-hardest-hit-recession-great_n_885078.html

@Dawn Anastasi yes the couple provided their midwest landlord who I called and got a raving review but it's a private owner so who knows, in retrospect.And they indicated they were staying at Extended Stay America Pasadena since they flew into CA, which struck a chord with me as months ago when I relocated from NYC, I also stayed in Extended Stay America but the one right near Long Beach Airport, until I closed on this house. in retrospect, i realize when i advertised for a housemate on CList months ago, i had initially indicated i stayed at Extended Stay America and had just closed on my home and was looking for a housemate (and found a great one just weeks ago, who is also from NYC but now works for Los Angeles Fire Department and Los Angeles Police Department thru a government contractor. would not put it past these characters to have actually stalked my CList posts and gathered info to use to sugar-coat their story. anyways i dont wanna get my housemate involved as he's new but at least he has connections as far as some of his clients, if it comes to that for whatever it might be worth if things escalate and/or become violent. i'm a very diplomatic person, not sure if that helps in this sutation though =/they offered to pay more rent ($300 more per month) and of course i said no, you need to work on finding a new place better and fast before time runs out for your situation. and in reply they (well the father, he does most the yapping) just asked me to install area rugs which they initially agreed to install in the first place even before 3 kids magically appeared in the picture and now are claiming the rugs will help deaden the sound but that I have to furnish them. guess there's suddenly a few screws coming lose as the act is finally falling to pieces. i mean who in their right mind is going to cater to their 'needs' after being lied to and my signature forged (God knows where else?!).
