[[[[......I did a total background check, employment verification, past landlord verification, etc...]]]]No, sorry, but you didn't.People don't change They do not live as model tenants all their life and then turn into lying, stealing, wallowing garbage pigs on the day they move in to your rental.

Yes, I've worked my *** off, but I'm the recipient of so much good fortune that I find it impossible to wallow in self-pity. 

Wallow in ignorance and complacency bias.

Let them wallow in their filth as long as they pay rent .

Most people wallow in self pity believing they were dealt a bad hand in life.

Plus, when you take into consideration that real estate prices are the lowest that we have seen in a decade, sometimes I wonder why everyone is quickly flipping properties to make a "quick" thousand when they could accumulate these cheap investments, see a nice cash flow, wallow in high ROI and then live to see a double-digit yield when it comes time to sell.

Not one for wallowing in misery, I opted to bow out of the real estate profession for a while and rely on my backup plan, Internet technologies.

Push all your liquid assets into an interest bearing account like this so it's not wallowing in the "no interest" zone. 

I don't want to wallow in the crap.

I don't take it personally, I pity them, wallowing in their ignorance and stupidity.
