They will never stop demanding things, complaining about things, etc.I come from a long line of Irish cops.

Ugh, these podcasts get my Irish up.You'll get and keep great tenants if you treat them like you'd want to be treated. 
Filipe Pereira The End of Fake ESAs / Service Animals?
27 January 2020 | 23 replies
Hopefully that's well behind you...I've long said that it will take big money lobbyists (likely from the air travel industry) to push into motion some type of regulation on ESAs, Service Animals and the likes.Hopefully this is just the beginning of the process of getting these animals on a registry with a proper license that can be verified by anyone.I've raised two German Shepherd Guide Dogs through the Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation and have watched a shift in our culture around ESAs and Service Dogs over the last 2.5 years.
Lillian Burke Housing for Poor People

A combination of HGTV culture and American ASPIRATION has “spoiled” them into believing they deserve better than living in a small frame apartment, no stainless steel appliances, no hardwood floors and/or no in-unit washer/dryer but saving $250/month.
Eric Sosa Convincing my wife on investing in low income area
14 February 2020 | 31 replies
What's amazing to me, is the amount of BS you have to deal with, when your properties are cheap, so many fake pay stubs, sketchy people, it's just different--  Different culture, different mentality, I'll just warn you, it won't be smooth sailing.     
DeAndrea D. Why would someone NOT want to sell their property to an investor?
11 February 2020 | 41 replies
Not sure if that’s the reason in your area but one reason people don’t like investors is the rapid gentrification of an area which alters the local culture and makes it unaffordable for the folks who grew up there/lived there for generations to stay.
Nicholas Moffett CIGARETTE SMOKE IN A RENTAL ---- LAWSUIT WORTHY ?
5 October 2016 | 85 replies
Finally, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to sue BiggerPockets itself for failure to provide adequate forum moderation, leading to a degenerative culture that has caused significant emotional distress to you. 
Robert Hanson Rookie needs advice for tenant screening in C class neighborhood.
3 February 2021 | 56 replies
Going forward it will help if you know the (C-) lifestyle and "Culture" for the area you are renting out.Buy here--pay here vehicles, Rent-to-own furniture (at best), friends and family with "Records" (not the vinyl kind), Dead junk vehicles awaiting some never to happen repair, financial tightness and sometimes irresponsibility, rely on friends and family for help, etc, etc, etc...If you know and understand your "Customer" it will be easier to make money from them, than if you expect them to behave and have the same level of lifestyle and financial responsibility as B+ renters.In other words, don't expect a Camel to have no humps, and don't expect it to be a horse.Just my 2 cents.
