Also bought in a somewhat undesirable part of the county because of poor schools, We are home schooling so that didn't matter much.

Most of these buildings were owned by failed landlords who allowed their buildings to be taken over by undesireable tenants (drug dealers, drug addicts, hookers, etc).

Without the HOA the neighborhood would probably become 90% investor owned and become very undesirable.

An increase in expenses could literally alter the type of business we operate or even make the business undesireable.

The reason I say "almost" is that I wouldn't sell unless there is a fundamental shift in the business that causes it to be undesireable.

Spraying coke cans on the ceiling to demonstrate water damage, cutting the ground wires in a/c units to make it undesirable when the BPO comes out, etc...that is closer to the fraud end of the spectrum to me.

The problem with the current home is... we live in a newer but abandoned and unfinished master planned community situated as an afterthought in a somewhat undesirable city.

Slums are a magnet to those undesirables as well, drifters assume such areas are not taken care of because owners and tenants don't care.

There is no such thing as undesirable work.

You do NOT want undesirable elements getting familiar with your vacant property as the neighborhood "party/crash/hiding place."
