The guy turned out to be a convicted felon with a history of violent behavior and drug trafficking.

There was a recent crime study that listed the Springfield metropolitan area as the 5th most violent area per capita in the nation.

My biggest concerns are as follows:No evictions in last 5 yearsRental historyWork history / incomeNot breaking a lease to move into my propertyAcceptable reason for movingNo violent crimesNo drug dealing convictionsCredit report verifies info on application (honesty)I don't care about the credit score.

I would want to tie up the whole complex to have control for the look and feel of it.What are the other types of properties around these and what has the recent crime activity been with violent versus non-violent crimes.If most units have been remodeled WHY haven't they been able to turn it around??

I do not care if those that do not work are given a 1 bedroom apt, a tv, food stamps and a buss pass as long as it is revocable when convicted of a violent crime.2.

Send mailers to people arrested for violent crimes (going to prison for a long time) 35.

Where under the proper supervisoin we each should be getting a check every quarter on those gains where we could choose to reinvest or buy that new ipod.I do not condone some sort of violent revolution.

That's more the range that the property would appraise for, so that saves you several hundred dollars right off the top.Taking a look at the crime map for this area the past 6 months, besides some petty theft and home burglaries, it's pretty much free from violent crime (which is what you should worry about):Whereas the 6-plex posted above is riddled with crime.

I'd be more worried about high property taxes and cost of maintenance than violent crime in VT.
