Best of luck to you and strike while your entrepreneurial hunger is still vibrant!

So, I pick up all the trash in that yard too, and go home.The same tenant who can not seem to lock the door, is habitually late on rent.

Chicago has a vibrant economy and not dependent solely on one big industry.

Both have strong, vibrant economies and offer very good returns.

(A lot of people, young, vibrant)Austin/Portland (I like their eccentric culture, but don't love them because I'm more into diversity at this stage)However, I've found it hard to find a place that matches the critieria: Under 400kMulti-UnitUrban and YoungGood rental or Airbnb marketGood investment and growth to followThe best contender so far would be Chicago where some duplexes surrounding Hyde Park (mainly South of it) near University of Chicago seem to have some affordable multi units.

Did he habitually pay the rent on time?

It is attractive in retirement due to the resources, vibrant environment, lower cost access to sports/ theatre, continuing education, etc.  

I can do this because I have started my own club and grown into a large vibrant organization. 

If a tenant habitually pays late, and does not include their late fees when they DO pay, you need to collect what is OWED TO YOU.
