I also would have the most incentive on performance with the current tenants if the tenants are worth keeping.You do not want the property manager motivated to turn units for fat checks and make almost nothing off keeping a good tenant.

If you can garnish wages, then it is worth it, If they are on a government program, you probably can't collect, but you may be able to effect their entitlement check by forgiving the debt and sending them a big fat 1099!

I believe the answer would be a big fat NO.  

My faves are Kansas City and Chicago.

Best of luck to you.Oh and if you have an interest on some good podcasts, BP has a good one, Josh and Brandon are fun to listen to, Sean Terry's flip to freedom podcast has helped motivate me a ton, Todd Tobacks No Limit Podcast is also really good, one of my faves for sure, and also the Real estate investing mastery podcast with Joe McCall and Alex Youngblood is great as well.

I'd rather buy, fix, lease, refi (fat all your money back or more.

Don't go into anything thinking it's a slam dunk, while it sounds good, nothing is over til the fat judge sings.

And if you (the buyer) default on the loan to them, they get to keep the fat down payment and the property! 

I'm usually concerned with how fat that HOA fee is and what hinderance the HOA imposes (i.e. no parking on the driveway, all cars must be in the garage) etc.

If she had insurance, they would have written her a fat check for her damaged belongings and put her up in a new place.If she wanted out of her lease, I would have let her out.
