While we were looking at the property, the tenant was screaming at us from upstairs not to raise their rent! 

can you duplicate or was this a screaming deal that would be hard to duplicate?

No thanks  In Dallas unless that is near Fair Park, it would be a screaming deal.

I am not remodeling - just a pipe leak fix, hopefully whatever they find after this one encounter, I don't have to go through with it even with the inspector tagging along (even if it is not up to code, it should be grandfather in, old house ...etc)@Kate J.

but they came in sat down ordered their bottle of Screaming Eagle and had dinner just like anyone else.

@Stefanos Axios I haven't been in the market for nearly as long as @Anthony Thompson or @Frank Patalano but we have been very active the last three years and from all the historical and current data we've seen, it's not a good time to get in unless you've somehow stumbled onto a screaming deal. 

Anytime someone starts talking a lot, or obviously researching stuff, screams red flags... you probably know the entire situation is a red flag and just wanted confirmation.. so yes, it's a red flag-- yes, you should just serve the notice of non-renewal.   

I prefer getting there 20 minutes early to set the thermostat to a comfortable temp, turn all the lights on, pick up any trash in the yard, sweep the front step, kill the spider on the counter, fix the running toilet, take care of any strange odors, ask the neighbor to stop smoking weed/shut their dogs/kids up/ stop screaming at each other, etc. 

I know some will scream that insurance will cover you, but not always...They can deny your claim and taking them to court over it may add to your problems if you lose and have legal expenses now to boot.
