(actus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea)If a bank intentionally foreclosures on the house of a person who it knows is current on his mortgage payment, or if it "forecloses" fraudulently on the wrong house knowing that it is the wrong house, then you are right that it would be a criminal matter under current laws.But if you are doing a million foreclosures and there are some paperwork errors that result in a few wrong foreclosures, it does not become a crime that is comparable to burglary, etc.

There are crimes in the area(theft, burglary, and shootings)  But some streets are quiet.

I work in the area and am constantly looking at properties but have the same fears of not being able to collect rent or prevent burglary's and getting the house stripped.

When I said we would run a background check she informed me that he has had three prior felons - fleeing an officer, third degree assault and third degree burglary.

With the detective standing there, I called them up and told them I didn't have anything to do with any burglary they had and I hope they catch who did.

Not only that, you run the risk of a burglary which will cause even more damage, which is obviously not a good look.

Other areas are better, but even the West End has a lot of opportunity crimes, like car break ins, burglaries, etc.  

I want to strike a good balance between area's safety and ROI - should feel comfortable visiting without needing to looking over the shoulder or worry about high burglary rates  :) Good schools are a bonus too, but ROI trumps. 

I caught the guy who did the first burglary.

Lower income areas will increase opportunities of burglary/theft at your property.
