Dealing with insurance and repairs is secondary to the wellbeing of your tenants and neighbors.Once you've confirmed everyone's safety, it's important to document everything thoroughly.

Safety comes in numbers.

It's been a great market for me.Things to consider when choosing a market; population growth (you don't want a stagnate or declining population), crime/safety (high crime usually means more unqualified tenants and will diminish property value), state property taxes, tenant/landlord laws. 

I have asked, begged and yelled about the safety situation and he just doesn’t care.

Car manufacturers go through endless licensing, safety controls and testing.  

(I just won’t own a property where there is an existing safety issue I can’t fix).

If you win a bid, you are inheriting an expensive headache, a safety concern, and a tax liability. 

Value property provides certain and escalating cash flow, the prospect of appreciation, worry free income, the basis for permanent friendships with the tenants you serve, pride of ownership, safety of equity and person, protection against inflation, riches in coin and experience.

Emphasize the importance of maintaining a smoke-free environment for the health and safety of all residents.Impose Penalties:If your lease agreement includes penalties for smoking violations, make sure to enforce them.

I’m concerned that it’s a fire or safety issue?
