We tend to look down our noses at BKs, but the truth is stuff happens: job loss, divorce, health issues, ...

No skin off my nose either way.  

In fact, I actually have group housing designation from the city of Orlando due to code enforcement poking their noses around at the time but that's a discussion for another post!

If I decide to pay so that they go then no one else knows.The other pitfall with apartment buildings is that when you decide to sell you are limited to selling to hard nosed landlords who will beat you down on price.

Tenant had compound fracture of the leg and couldn't get to door in time.

There are other cities in Florida with the same requirements and I am sure there are potential landlords that won't consider purchasing there due to the government sticking their nose in!

Some owners just want what they want and can't look beyond that and some of them will cut off their nose to spit their face. 

I'd rather buy that house for "cash" and pay up the nose for financing with a pre-determined "exit" strategy ( or huge cash flow rental). 

These "abused" tenants are probably paying a fraction of what their apartments are worth, and landlords aren't even allowed to kick these tenants out even if they sell the place, without facing really stringent rules and paying through the nose for the tenants' relocation. 

Suffolk’s got a lot of old folks living in “time capsule” / out of date but well maintained houses, If you yellow letter to them you might stand a chance but likely their kids will have their noses in it because that’s their inheritance.
