The house is liveable and the settlement is more of a cosmetic issue rather than a safety one (for now at least).

I feel like value-added opportunities would be easier in SFH over MFH for resales because families would purchase SFH differently from MFH which could be something to keep in mind in the long run as a safety net if you needed to sell because renting wasn't sufficient.

We also will not accompany them to their bank safety deposit box so they can show us their gold (yes, I was recently asked to do so.)We verify employment by looking up the business phone number (ignoring any provided by applicant) and contacting HR or management to verify their employment AND home address (if not printed on paycheck).

YMMVI am not going into the legal, safety or political points of hiring these guys and using them.  

All that to say, I'm continuing to be patient until I find something I truly think is worth while.

A lot of long-time landlords do things to save money like rent out illegal ADUs (not up to current safety code) or accept under the table rent payments to not report it the income to the IRS - they're just asking for trouble doing this in a pro-tenant city. 

An enlightening example, is the owner of a corporation diverting unreported corporate funds to a safety deposit box, mixing in his own funds, and then spending $10’s of thousands of the corporate funds for his own personal investments, and use.

You needed a safer car when you got married then one with more safety features when you got kids. 

All of their portfolio was in Indi.I think if you're buying in good, improving markets, then even with turnkeys you'll see price appreciation and rent increases over time, which will increase your safety margin and profit.

A door that doesn't open is probably a material defect (safety issue, if nothing else).
