They don't communicate well, don't take responsibility for their actions, do not clean or maintain homes well, and will shaft you when it's time to leave.Other than that, it's a pretty good system.

I know hosts have included additional cleaning fees for violations as a deterrent.If none of these solutions work, you could look into completely independent HVAC systems for the two units, though that would be a bigger upfront investment.

Leaving out auction and foreclosure costs for a second, when you write that check for $220k the trustee is going to pay BigBadBank the $175k they are owed first, then he's going to pay LittleBadBank the remaining $45k, and you will get a clean title as the process is going to wipe the slate clean.

Some may want to leave without the responsibility of cleaning.

That will probably be your best bet, to buy a fixer and get it cleaned up and then rent it out.Best wishes and good luck with your endeavors.
