I'm not saying that you need stick around with someone no matter how bad they are, just that you need to be mindful on your projects going forward. 

In the last 2 years we have had two different properties where tenants left a bad flea problem behind, and it's a PITA to get them gone because you have to spray multiple times and vacuum everywhere multiple times. 

Long story short.
Went thru a relationship issue and lost it all last year. So the credit score is horrible (was a 822 before. Yes I am sick about it).
Over the summer i bought a home in cash that's worth 140-160k. ...

@Evan Price, it doesn't sound like you had a bad experience here.

All complimented with Amazon fulfillment centers, google, and more tech manufacturing jobs.The bad reputation of “Detroit” comes from OOS investors wanting sub $40,000, D class properties in poor condition, because they pencil out to 2-3% deals on paper.

You really run the risk of bad construction biting you.

My story isn't even that bad compared to another CA   investor who bought 2 apartment buildings in the Midwest Class C and was told property values would go up with gentrification.

I am finding some that are below 200k that are not that bad in condition.

Even then there’s going to be your customary “bad boy carveouts”.

These are the first things I look at.Lastly if someone is advertising on BP, it’s not a bad or good thing - all it means when someone advertises on BP or pays BP to be promoted it just means they paid to be on the website.
