This gives the tenants another (4) months of rent free living while they continue to destroy the property and there is nothing we can do except wait.

Getting 100% of rental income, appreciation, loan pay down, and depreciation for 20% down makes 10% annual roi easy to destroy.  2.

@Destry Dylan Thomas Sholder I’ve discovered it’s just better to let tenants leave than risk them destroying the unit or not paying for months or getting involved in a lengthy eviction.

Section8 helps getting the most rent, If you the tenant does not destroy the property.

But if you give them nicer units, they're less likely to destroy them.

.#4 Not charging big enough deposits for nicer homes, I have had many recently renovated properties that tenants have destroyed.

It takes decades of doing the right thing to build, and seconds to destroy. 

Inevitably you have to clean a little different if they have a pet so that costs money but if they haven't destroyed something then $300 is a little steep.

Maybe that is not even good idea, but perhaps better chances of success and maintaining a relationships.Probably NOT what you want to hear, but if you're making $125,000 and you don't have the discipline or willpower or willingness to save for the down payment and closing costs on property #2, then what will you do if things go south..like your tenant doesn't pay rent, you have 3 months of vacancy, or the tenant destroys the property and you need to rehab?   

The industry is literally DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY!
