Truly the tale of 2 cities. 

Cautionary tales?

Instagram will also update twitter.

I appreciate your thoughtful and honest tale.  

Again those landlords that chase money, tell tales of tenants wanting a home loan or landing a good job they don't want to let go of and the landlord finally gets their money with interest.

Check Facebook/Twitter/Instagram!

I think the 60k offer is either a tall tale or an uneducated buyer.

@Pat L asked the tough question about how the tenant got past the screening process, although people can be good actors (hey, I'm in L.A.).While I could recount tales of tough evictions, I think the main takeaways that other landlords and would-be landlords ought to consider is:1) The incredible unforeseen waste that eviction creates for the investor that can be minimized by effective upfront screening;2) If eviction becomes necessary, not to get all tied up emotionally with the tenants' responses and just keep moving forward.

You're disturbing me by tagging me in this fairy tale business you claim you are doing.

They will need to protect client privacy, but they should be able to give other specifics to tell the tale.9) If approaching a CPA, ask how often their tax returns get audited, what has been their success rate in those audits, and how are fees handled for audits (the latter can range from "included service" to "separately billed" to "don't do").Best Regards,Scott Price
