You should already have your 6 month reserves set aside to be safe anyway, so I don't see having rent due in the middle of the month as really changing anything.

If you have advice on how to better screen tenants, I'm open to suggestions.It seems that they have their own relationship problems and just want to get out of under the lease and we have ended up in the middle.

Many parts of North Newark (Upper Roseville), Forest Hill, Ivy Hill, (some of) weequahic, Ironbound etc. are relatively safe.

It is in a nice upper middle class suburb of Kansas City.

I used this money to pay-off a hard money loan while my wife was in the middle of getting a cash-out refinance on another property.

some have told me that I should pour a cup of bleach into two gallons of water and wash the whole place with this mixturesomeone else mentioned a bowl of vinegar placed in the middle of the floor.I have also tried Coffee which did help absorb a lot of the odor but there is still a lingering scent.I am frustrated because I am no expert cleaner. and I cant believe that washing the walls and doors did not solve this issue.

This is a very middle class neighborhood, some houses are well kept up and some haven't been remodeled since construction 20-25 years ago.

For example, if a couple living in a one bedroom apartment have a baby in the middle of their lease, the landlord probably cannot require the couple to move to a two-bedroom apartment because this may unfairly penalize them merely because they had a child.

Maybe in 2008 you'd get a few votes, but even in the middle of the meltdown there wasn't widespread panic.

You need to find the spot in the middle where you are comfortable investing.
