If you have actually not sold yet, you should be using some sort of dynamic pricing tool.

the swing a dead cat visual really got me!

To protect your investment, I recommend installing a security cage that provides a physical and visual deterrent. 

Offer to treat again but I would visually inspect the house and see if there are any tell tale signs....Since your lease doe not state tenant will lose security upon breaking lease I am not certain you have the right to keep security....good luck,Chris

The meditation, visualization, and scribing part are an integral part of my day and really allow me to relax, collect my thoughts, and rejuvenate. 

Do you think the dynamic of "money rushing in crowds out opportunity" in the real estate marketplace as well?   

It is difficult for out if towners to know the dynamic of the town because it is in certain pockets you find these good and bad blocks .

It sounds risky but we did our part to visually inspect the properties prior to bidding. 

In addition, their obligation is to inspect only “readily accessible, visually observable” systems and components of the home. 

If you do a 2 unit, there is more upside on renting the 2 units out to one group on Airbnb on high demand dates (like Steelers games). oh yes, also make sure you use dynamic pricing for your dates.
