Really, most of my experience with "drama queens" has involved tenants that I believe have some kind of diagnosable personality disorder or other real mental illness. 

Demographic and Economic TrendsUnemployment and population 5 year trends-Under population, break down by age rangeJob diversity/Top 10 employers...ie. not one industry taking 20-25%Supply and demand: Vacancy, Med rent, Landlord/tenant friendliness as described above, upcoming constructionClimate is a fun one...is it relevant idk...i just like looking at climate trends of different places while i'm at it.Census.gov is great for all of this

A couple of newbie mistakes  1) slightly overpaid on the initial buy 2) Underestimated monthly expenses ( insurance, pool service) 3) slightly overestimated what I can command for rentThe positive is there is a 25% equity in the house in an area that seems to not be slowing down as far as real estate climate.

So, roof life will depend on the materials used, the condition of the underlayment and the climate. 

Because of their disorders, they can't hold a job, they often can't get along with their neighbors or roommates , they don't have enough money to manage on their own,  and they are lucky if their payee isn't stealing from them.

You are one surprise (like finding mold which is common in climates where it rains a lot.....like the Seattle area) to be in the red on this deal.First, you might not be doing your comps correctly...or maybe you are but there isn't enough info for us to tell for sure.

I also monitor gate entries through the gate software to see what kind of activity has transpired at the property as well as monitor cameras to verify no issues.My other properties are closer to home and I will visit them maybe once a month, more out of boredom than necessity.These are all exterior non-climate controlled units. 

People from snowy climates please correct me if I'm wrong.

The area has a hospitable climate, away from hurricanes, excessive heat or cold, snow ect... 7.

Yes, I know that REI can be done in many ways; that being said, what do you feel you would do in the current climate, if you were in my shoes?
