One person owns 33 units and another one owns 6 units, so it seems like they might have been doing the bare minimum and now it costs our building more money in the long run for their bandage solutions. 

Furthermore, by my quick calculations, you would have to get the price down to at least $316,000 in order for it to even barely cash flow.

Making a home completely lead free will cost you more money than doing the bare minimum to pass inspection or just to get a lead certificate. 

I am also "north of the city", if just barely.

This barely provides time for bigger maintenance items.Selling? 

Some investors may be wiped out entirely, some may barely make it, and some will rise above it and change their investing strategies going forward to ensure they'll survive market shifts.

I was being factitious  I know landlords are going to push rental rates as high as market will bare.. and I know that even if rents were lower said tenants would just buy more stuff :)  

We rent out just 6 [INSERT YOUR NUMBER HERE] units, and just barely manage to pay the bills each month.

Daniel Pink has a bunch of good ones, as does Jim Collins.

Some landlords cut corners and do the bare minimum and some tenants have no respect for the property of others.
