I do not have meetings with tenants who are causing problems and blatantly rule-breaking.

Unfortunately racism and prejudice blatant or subconsciously  in our town will keep the other quadrants down - only other neighborhood I'd hold out hope for is the estate lots NW corner of 21st/Oliver down to Sorority Row and N in about that line to 29th St - the southern half of that neighborhood was the old Wichita Country club if I recall. 

the whole concept of back dating and using conversations is really a blatant form of fraud. 

I can be blatant about describing this because I've never been a builder's in-house pocket lender, so no one can point at a past transaction of mine and allege funny business.

Point taken, thank youI've never done well with someone blatantly lying and have a bad habit of not letting it go - nothing irks me more than that kind of stuff.

I guess at the core the real problem is selfish greed and blatant dishonesty.

Went to the recorders office and there were none but at the same time not sure if that’s something that I would have to ask for or would be blatantly obvious and mentioned, but the docs I saw showed no such info

Things like a 25% expense ratio for a single family house in a D neighborhood (the TK operator says it's a B though); blatantly false property tax numbers; unattainable rent rates ...For those of you considering a TK purchase, a 20% expense-to-rent ratio is completely unrealistic for ANY single family rental around here, regardless of neighborhood class. 50% is more like it, give or take a little.

If you did not advise them of what was needed to prevent pipes from freezing and they were not blatantly negligent like turning the heat off to house then that is on you since the incident is considered natural disaster.

There's such a gray area with what can be deducted that anything short of blatant tenant damage, we just refund the deposit.
