I have done that already, and in short I came to following high level findings.Positive impact on appreciation: -area was historically undesirable due to association with “East Austin” demographic stereotype, but that his changed rapidly in last 10 years due to proximity to downtown, universities, corporations moving in, redevelopment of parks/recreations etc.

Take your weight loss a couple pounds at a time and don't accept retreat.

With all that now I’m getting the ac don’t work again so I send out a ac tech I explain to them the the tenants are claiming that the ac isn’t cold enough that the Edison guy that took off the summer saver box off the ac fan told him the ac needs a Freon boost I’m really  now the  Edison guy is a ac tech the ac was running cold now it’s not working .well the ac tech did a leak test ,pressure test and said it was fine  but it looks like it was tampered with he also said if there was a leak there wouldn’t be Freon in the system still so I payed him to fill it up  since there was  few pounds of Freon still in the system he also asked me when was the last time i serviced the ac  I told him about a year ago .he said that long ago if there was a leak  there would be nothing in the system so after paying a few hundred dollars ,now I get another call saying the ac is blowing hot air .so I send the ac guy back  .the same ac guy said looks like it’s been tampered with.so now I decide to pay for home warranty insurance after the second repair and now  the tenants threatened to sue me.for my fist rental this is a bad experience of tenants trying to scam me and the plumber his freind doing fraud.i later called the water company again spoke to the manager this time explained what going on.he said just tell the tenants to call and give a one time to talk about the bill that I don’t have to be on the account so i did they refused again.

Long term there is no other solution than just paying the taxes, if you have to take out a loan to do so that may be an undesirable but necessary option.

They might have other issues that make them undesirable aside from dings on their credit report.I would agree with the others that the safest long-term solution would be to wait until you find a tenant that you feel comfortable with.

The thing is I've never been to those areas that used to be undesirable - so there is a lot of research and learning to be done to figure out those areas.

I ended up reading reading the whole Bible, learned how to meditate, got into some yoga, lost about 25 pounds (and kept it off), the following year I read about 66 books and mostly in the self development and business subjects, established goals and try to work my plan (continue to do this), started journaling here and there, have a small vision board that I want to move to my office. 

If you like pounding nails, buy some lumber and nails and do it on vacation for fun.

All of this cost much less time and money than using lawyers and courts to get an undesirable tenant out.Good luck!

I would tell them to pound crap.Why homeowners put up with being told how to run their property is beyond me.
