Agreed mate,43606 is mostly rough and 43610 and 43620 is hit/miss.Put In Bay has a total of 7 houses hahaBowling Green quite expensive and only 1 target tenant and they are students...Online stats/demographics are one thing, real life and on-ground experience is another.As an investor you are limited if your decisions are based on solely online research.Had an investor that bought 6 properties from us ages ago and was using some weird online algorithm and plugging every deal I sent him through RentFax (I easily send 30 or so deals for consideration).I advised against this strategy but it is what it is.Didn't work out for him unfortunately and he decided to sell.Maybe I should get him to post a thread and throw us under the bus.It's always our fault, right?

As for any oil tank, if they're leaking oil into the ground then yes you have an environmental issue to deal with. 

CO landlords can still evict for all of the common grounds for eviction: nonpayment of rent, violation of lease terms, damage to property, disturbing the peace, health and safety violations, illegal activities etc. and can also still evict if they plan to conduct repairs or renovations, property demo or conversion, move in to the unit themselves or have a family member move in, withdraw the property from the rental market, or if the tenant refuses to sign a new lease with reasonable terms.
