It’s run by a political machine that is bleeding it dry.

I'd look for a different method to purchase.

Quote from @Ethen Royal: Different methods, but my policy is to get a monetary judgment.

So I decided to make my own spin on Brandon Turner's Four Square Method of Analyzing Rental Properties by incorporating it into a "FILL IN THE BLANK" template.   

This tenant has ignored my warnings - to stop smoking in the unit (multiple times), having unauthorized guests in the unit without my permission, have spread rumors and lies about me throughout the neighborhood, and have ignored my texts (only method of communication).  

If there was a dry cleaner operating there in the past, for example, you could be on the hook for environmental stuff, to give one quick example.#3: Definitely expect insurance to keep climbing, especially for Tampa.

Avoided more dirt bags than i can count with just those two methods.

When compared to renting out the full unit, this method can frequently result in higher overall rental income.Seek Professional Advice: If you're looking for advice, think about speaking with a San Jose-focused investment adviser or local real estate agent.

My journey through the world of real estate has been diverse, from fix-and-flips and employing the BRRRR method to managing Airbnb.

I believe this approach provides me with an advantage over the traditional method of searching for properties in a competitive market.
