If you have lots of domestic disturbance, petty theft, battery, etc. that is not the same level as forcable entry, theft of car, armed robbery,drugs, rape,murder,etc.Look around at the other buildings.

Thanks to Karen & Josh,Mystery solved!

Now I'm wondering which swindlers I was talking about in the past.If I have a mystery BP vigilante out there who was looking out for me on that one (if that was the context of their questioning you about it), thanks!

Thus far the cash flow is still positive, but it certainly feels like a drama at times.I've had tenants come and go, complain about drugs in the neighborhood (knock on wood no murders yet)...I was offered crack once driving through the nearby neighborhood to check on the properties...I hope it's a transition, build experience with a limited investment, then move on to advanced opportunities for me.

I think it's a horrendous practice but there is legal precedent with documentary film makers who make millions selling depictions of illegal acts (rape, murder, genocide, rioting, assault, etc....).

international woman of mystery!

Driving around, it is still pretty rough through there (murders, shootings, and drug deals are not uncommon).
