a couple times i've seen people handing out legal biz cards to them. this one time i saw a laborer selling oranges car-to-car in the HD parking lot, so when i had to come back for something half hour later, i brought a big bag of oranges i just picked from my trees and gave it to him. we started talking and the guy handing out cards was there again so i asked him and he showed me the card and said it was PRO BONO and contingency lawyers reps trying to find people who ever been injured while working and that they sue owners for big $$$ whenever they find a client who got hurt and willing to sue  that scared me even more!  

We've booted a couple dirt bags that we inherited with the building so everyone there now knows we're not putting up with BS and we would rather have a vacant apartment than deal with a problem tenant.On the bigger question of making money on low end properties, yes you can. 

If they violate it and put back in jail then you are left holding the bag.

Rollers go in a ziplock bag and then go in the fridge as well.

Many things can happen during the long and expensive rehab stage, and there is much greater chance of an abandoned project, or a blown budget, with the HML holding the bag, so I understand the thinking.

I want this to look as authentic as possible.

It's like the people who tape a flyer to my mailbox, or stick a business card in a sandwich bag with some pebbles and throw it in my driveway.

The way I play this game requires a higher level of understanding of negotiation and a much larger real estate tool bag.

Not throwing away the vacuum bag so they do not breed in the bag.

However, this tenant left personal belongings (mostly bags of baby clothes) in the house.
