Most tenants will simply understand bad things will happen if they break a lease and not try it in the first place.Another thing to consider is that drug dealers and prostitutes look for month to month rentals.

If a drug dealer tenant locks a dog in the kitchen 24/7 and the dog freaks out because she's trapped and alone and tries to claw her way out, what you have is a human problem, not a dog problem. 

Anyways, I sold it back to the Mercedes dealer without ever driving it.  

I would offer it as a lease option or rent to own, or maybe even a owner contract type situation depending on your tax status with the IRS (Dealer status?).

Kicking on the door and/or adjacent window until a tenant or resident drug dealer opens the door for you was pretty much the only way to gain access.

Turned out to be a drug dealer...

Drug dealers used to blame me for ruining things now I'm blamed for causing gentrification.I'm on the front lines and winning.You don't need to start from scratch or reinvent.

the advantages of having a license are many and obviousplus it puts you in the business .. if you indeed want to be in the businessif you just want to buy rentals and play the landlord game its not necessary.but if you want to be a wheeler dealer  in my mind its mandatory.
