Should some one "unqualified" (go ahead and argue that if you want, the courts have already ruled) injure themselves in the process, the company could be held both criminally and civilly liable.The "cost of labor" is the cost of living in that locale - it is dictated by no other factors.

But some advice would be to contact that police and ask for their advise because at this point you might be already in the mix for knowing house a criminal (if she is truly guilty).

At least pay an attorney who knows what they're doing Agents are absolutely worth it if you haven't done this before and could get sued (no offense but like in your case

I search this site: http://www.oscn.net/dockets/Search.aspx to find evictions (in Oklahoma it's called a Forcible Entry and Detainer) and criminal history.  

I'm wondering if I should file criminal charges?

Btw, a cap rate alone doesn't mean much if we do not talk about appreciationSure mate,It's quite simple for meI run 3 companies and a staff of 20.I negotiate hard and find deals where nobody is lookingMost are very distressed and need a tonne of work.15% net would be the minimum I would do for my personal portfolio and the numbers just go up from there.I'm in the process of buying a 10 unit in a B class up and coming area that i will be into for a total of $200,000 with projected net rents of $40,000+ (I'm keeping the numbers very basic here)So, no offense but I wouldn't let you know as I keep such deals for myself lolI suggest you look into the Midwest as there are many blue collar working class markets (No where near ghetto) that offer amazing numbers.You just have to manufacture the numbers from the start and then have a good team in place to make it work.Team work makes the dream work in any market no matter what the online stats are showing regarding the demographics and unemploymentMuch successps.

I look at criminal, credit record, outstanding debt, whether their addresses match, etc.

Really the credit check was on my parents and criminal on us. 

@Aziz BangurahAlso, make sure you prequalify your tenants by using websites like Smart Move to check credit scores, eviction, income, and criminal check.

I want to make sure they are not offensive.
