I see plenty of tenant-hopefuls who have things I don't accept in their background - drug dealing convictions, evictions, etc - and some landlord has them now as a tenant ...I could fill a vacancy a lot faster if I would take some of those types!

If it is to auctioned from a forfeiture, the court can terminate any agreement or make arrangements for the tenant and owners.I'm actually awaiting the disposition of a property here that was purchased on an installment contract by a drug dealer who has weapons charges, mail fraud, money laundering, distribution and conspiracy charges who most likely won't be out in 20.

Another gripe I have is the medicare scare: A way to solve that is to put caps on the pay/perks/compensation of the various layers of the medical/ pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, and the amount that they can charge medicare recipeints for ANY drug or medical service.We can give illegal immigrants free medical care, the same should be done for our own people. ofgift

More importantly, Amazon is targeting the prescription drug market share of these stores, and ultimately will take a big bite out of their dominance.

The main way to alleviate that would be having "boots on the ground" so to speak by utilizing a property manager.For example, you can purchase property in Midwestern states for much cheaper than here in sunny California.
