I believe with no evidence to back it up that a lot of the major crimes are between drug dealers and other criminal types.

Risks that I see are rent control (already in some places), lessoning housing regulations (there is a proposed regulation that would let any SFR be converted to a duplex, there is already ADU rules that allow an ADU to be added to most SFR, and parking requirements are constantly being reduced to allow more affordable building options), possibly at top of market (which if past history is an indicator even if Bay area is at top of market a new high will be established in no more than 8 years), potentially any number of other potential Landlord unfriendly regulations (no STRs, disallow criminal checks, rent control (already discussed), longer more onerous eviction procedures (already can take a while in some cases), mandating acceptance of Section 8 (already true in some areas), etc.).You evaluate the return versus the risks and determine if the investment appears sound. 

I have all my criminal records that I will submit to the DOJ, but just don't want to get my hopes up.

The criminal system isn't going to be much help.

We do not have much of an issue because we are up front about running a criminal and credit check. 

It should be enough to at least cover the cost of running a credit/criminal background.As a Landlord, you're trying to identify risk and then mitigate it.

@Marcia Maynard please don't take offense.

AB 31 – Effective July 1, 2019 This bill requires community managers and reserve study specialists to apply to the Division for certification or registration and to submit fingerprints to the Division or the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History to allow the Federal Bureau of Investigation to conduct an investigation of the applicant’s background.

You have game experience but now you're running a new offense and learning a new playbook.

Usually have 3-4 qualified candidates to pick from.My requirements are: 3x income, no evictions, no criminal record.
