I  tell them specifically -- "I want you to have resources, if you see a bug, spray the area, if you see it again-- spray it the next day,  if that's not working, go to Walmart get something else-- if that doesn't work, then call me, don't call me because you saw an ant-- use the spray and treat the problem.   

I've also seen, in many small towns across America, where Walmart will cause the entire retail trade area the relocate from the old downtown area to the area immediately adjacent to the Walmart (typically near the interstate).

If they choose to go to Walmart and pick up their own supplies and take that risk, I've got no problem with it. 

That would be for generally isolated towns, although a suburb may have a population density of 10,000 but within a 30 minute drive of a major metro area I would still buy the loan there. when performing my initial demographic review I typically will look for a big box store such as a Walmart home Depot or Lowe's which indicates to me that if those companies are putting in a store the population density is solid or at least has growth potential.

Then they go to China and Asia and pollute the hell out of everything so they can sell cheap crap at Wal-Mart to all the sorry sacks that are probably living in our apartments, its a shame. 

I was hoping there were more low tech options, such as a service at Walmart, or such that they could pay, and the service would direct deposit into my account.

Small things I get from Wal Mart. 

You can get the same thing by working at Walmart.

Walmart window blinds run $10 each and take 5-15 minutes to install.

After all, one can only buy so many things at Walmart before getting bored doing so.If this continues I suspect many more landlords will just throw up their hands and put their rentals on the market...thus, in the end, providing even less rent choices for tenants.
