Give you the wherewithal to pursue and achieve your long-term goalsMany investors start off "too hot", and they either overdevelop their first property or they spend their money too fast: either of these behaviors will stop you dead in your tracks, and you probably won't even be able to achieve your short-term goals - and you certainly won't have the resources to pursue your long-term goals.

This is just a factor of the prices not allowing the same type of behavior that were the bad part of past environment.

That mentality is baked into the culture in both Flint and Detroit in so many places it's not funny.So, if your population can't read, has no idea what professional behavior looks like, and has a cultural aversion to working harder than the other guy (lest you take his job) you aren't left with much.

Look for drug references and other nefarious behavior 

But most all of them once you open it after a year or two of good behavior they will raise it.

Simply telling them that certain behavior might result in the cops being called is very effective. 

Of course when you do this you increase the paper trail showing fraud.Sorry to be so blunt, but this kind of crappy unethical behavior is what starts to kill a good market - it's just greed.So run don't walk from this guy.

Just google the Cleveland land bank you will find tons of suspicious behavior.   

Keep discussions on the market and the unit, or behaviors (does one pay sooner or more consistently, stayed longer), not on the specific circumstances of the tenants.Whenever we have an opening we bump rent to market, so newer tenants are often paying more than older tenants.
