Regarding evictions, it depends on the time and resources you have available.

You screen applicants because you don't know them!

When I looked at prices recently they look like they've gone up quite a bit but I know they vary a lot depending on the neighborhood. 

Depending on the state, when someone rents for a certain amount of time, usually 30 days or more, they become long term tenants in the eyes of the law, and they acquire "tenant's rights". 

It all depends on the state.

@Kyle Carter  We love renting to Section 8, however depending on the size of the property you may not be able to realistically rent to 100% section 8.

We see a tightening or restricting of coverage, higher deductibles, more tedious underwriting requirements, and increasing rates.As far as deductibles specifically, it really depends where you are in the country. 

It  really depends what you value.

You may decide not to deliver a legal notice right away depending on the violation, but when you know you are dealing with a problem tenant, go straight to the legal notice requirements, and if the tenant still doesn't comply, evict. 

Looks like anywhere from 6k to 10k depending .
