I won't volunteer this so as not to tempt abuse but if it comes down to it we'll have some reasonable discussions and come up with a plan.

What the increase in alcoholism, drug abuse, domestic violence, child abuse?

in my day job I fund a lot of lower end rentals in about 10 markets.. so I see the HUDS I see people every day either from a foreign country or their address is no where near the property IE west coast  and selling these homes for 1/2 or less of what they paid for them in the last 5 years.. most cant even make it to 5 years and they are burnt out.. those folks don't post on BP or social media.. but when you look at the sellers that's at least half of the inventory.. its burnt out abused landlords who just had no idea how tough it is to really do this right.I have other clients that own 20 50 100 200 and its like you said they live there and put in their 40 plus hours a week managing their assets..

I can vote for representatives whom I believe will try to create a better society, and who will put in safeguards that hopefully minimize waste, fraud and abuse. 

I want to turn that property into a hardened SFR that can take all kinds of abuse and come back strong after the tenant leaves.And the wild thing is, it's the better-built places, the places that were nicest originally, that have always been messed with, remodeled the least over the years and can be turned most easily into solid rentals.

In fact, the risk is higher because Tenants tend to neglect/abuse things they aren't financially responsible for.In my office, I have a policy of charging a double deposit and a mandatory cleaning fee to mitigate against the increased risk.

It was not pretty and the word "sad" would be understatement.Now, when my attorney puts stupid clauses in my contracts, "In case someone gets hit by a bus," … well, now I listen.

I wouldn't include it as part of the rent as people have a way of abusing it.

From what I can tell, we all hop onto a bus, and drive to property to property, while understanding what it feels like to be in and around a property that's in the middle of renovating.
