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. 

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.

But, it might end up making the house look hokey, since the architecture isn't consistent.Bars on windows can be a cultural thing. 

I didn’t know much about that culture so that worried me a little, I am not gonna lie.

I'd dismissed Spanish-speaking areas because I was intimidated by the language barrier, even though I'm comfortable with the culture. 

But, in our culture in America, anyway, it's waaaayyyy easier to blame policies on a non-resident owner.

Luckily the city is revitalizing a community and cultural center so I am expecting the values of my properties to go up. 

There are some cultures that run cash for everything. 

The group culture is great---we team up on deals together and it's very much a family-like vibe.

Formal education is not stressed by those most visible in the BiggerPockets culture.
