We estimate the average noncooperating Class C tenant takes us 15+ hours between filling out the forms for them, numerous property visits to get their signatures and documents, following up with overworked caseworkers an average of 7 times, etc.We debated about this post, hoping to create an open discussion and get feedback, but worried about being harshly judged without all the facts.

I am not gonna be as harsh as @Ian Barnes on Baltimore, but buying $7500 houses, god knows where, only calls for trouble.

@Nicole Obregon Yes, someone’s past does Not dectate there future , As a landlord I have given people second and third chances with home rentel and they becomw mIdel rentets , I truly hate to hear about landlords who are so harsh on people who have had prior evictions as if they too have never made an error of judgment or bad luck in there lives some landlords are so judgmental there shoes squick when they walk I am so blessed to be a landlord so I can help people get back on there feet again!!!

I guess illogic is a harsh word, but I do think there is more of a speculative play involved with betting on appreciation - akin to betting on a hot new tech stock.

I'm sorry to be so harsh with you, but this seems like you're furious at your tenant for asserting her rights as a party to litigation, and that approach will get you nowhere.

@Kristy Fard I don't want this to seem harsh but it is almost like you bought the building for their convenience?

That is a harsh reality of today's world.
