I think one of the largest issues in our society is people don't want to take responsibility for their actions and this is a case of that. 

We live in a money-hungry society and tenants, pedestrians, contractors, and refused tenants are looking to sue or get hurt to sue.

We are living in a time when consumers have the greatest access to research, reviews and reference information to look up who or what is best in literally seconds, and our society promotes doing this non-stop.

There is also the American Society of Home Inspectors which allows you to search for an inspector in your area.

Don't feel bad for doing this, it is the instructed sickness of our society, you were trained to be a consumer and that's exactly how your living, a consumer lifestyle.

Ordinary people are capable of atrocities because ordinary people aren't actually good, they merely have a kind of socially acceptable veneer of conformity, and if society goes mad, they will, too.I endorse strict rules, but not pointless rules.

There are homeless programs that place people after they've been rehabilitated to functional members of society or who just help those who have a combination of bad luck and bad choices but don't have some severe underlying issue, and those often work out just fine. 

Time to put your hard-earned RE investment dollars to work where your assets to society will be appreciated. 

Ultimately, this is a business and we are in a capitalist society.

It may feel risky because our society has trained us to buy a home and pay down the mortgage as if that makes it an investment.
