Lol.. thanks againlets look at this logically.. your a new or beginning landlord your going to be in this business ( it is a business its not passive) long term so you invest 100k into a property.. you have put up your cash you have signed on a loan .and now instead of paying a few hundred a year to make sure your tenant is not abusing your house.. you do nothing and then hope for the best.. but if you pay 200 to 300 a year for inspections etc.. that goofs up your return its just went from 8% to 7% and of course if you thought you were only going to get 7% you would not take on real estate rentals and the risk associated to your capital and credit.. now again this makes the assumption of life long renters in rental dominated areas and basically C class tenants.. you move up in the asset class's or your tenants are in a part of the world were they are kinder on homes and they are not lifers.. thing get less risky.

Oh, and be ready to spend a fortune on tools that will get abused and destroyed. $10,000 will be a good start.

If my suspicion that he is a serial credit abuser is correct, then by the time he is a couple of years into rebuilding his credit, he will not want to risk having an eviction from you on his record, or a judgement in your favor.
