@Lavar Harden  I haven't found a house to move to it yet. 

There's no real poured support requirements around here (TN), and the ground is heavy clay that hardens like cement and tends not to move.

It appears the residential insurance market has hardened, I doubt we'll see the same low prices we've been accustomed to.If your looking to place a policy on a two family home built before 1900, you should still be able to with little hassle but a steeper price.

However, some suggestions:  rent a junkyard dog, hire a patrolman, motion sensor high beam spotlights, board up all windows and doors with 3/4 plywood.Seriously--just try to harden the property and let the neighbors and local precinct know about your concerns, and provide a contact number. 

Similarly, a full-size Stanley handsaw with hardened, tungsten-tipped teeth gets a lot more done with less effort than you might think.

She did not leave the fine paperwork.Few weeks later the soil hardened and the dumpster was dumped and moved adjacent to the street. 

4 inch hardening cement $7,000.00 11.

In other words, unless you are a hardened property manager used to all that goes with low end stuff, I'd avoid that nightmare.

I think "Hardening" your property is one of the best and easiest ways to trim expenses.

You can change a rental house to a retail house when you go to sell it, but a retail house will not last long as a rental house.Caveat, I'm not saying do nothing to the house for 20 years or anything, fix stuff and replace stuff as it breaks, harden your units so they will withstand the abuse of tenants, and upgrade your units as necessary to compete in the market.
