In brings in low life's into the neighborhood, it depresses other rents around you, which brings in more idiots, and what about when you've turned the neighborhood into a slum and you want to sell?

If you were my younger brother, I would say get married, move to a more affordable market, learn that market, and by then we should be deep into a depression, so deals will be more available.

Hey Team,Looking for anyone that has recent experience pursuing an eviction for repetitive lease violations (noise, disorderly conduct, etc.)? 

Now, because the market was tanking, my parents did not take any money out of their stocks because the value we depressed.

Long story short the rents are heavily depressed and to be honest I am not sure how the current investor makes a profit so first order of business is to sub meter the property though I was curious to know whats the best way to go about this?

He mentioned he wants it “bc his wife has been depressed recently.”

It could be procrastination, disorganization, depression or any number of issues that get them "stuck" in a bad pattern.

That changed after I had a tenant, after the tragic death of his live in girlfriend, suffered a bout of depression so severe that when I visited him, not only was the lawn not mowed for over six months, but looks like he didn't have a haircut, shave, or bath for that long.

During the visit, he recommended I start using a CPAP, take anti-depressants, and have a full-body cancer screening even though there's no history of cancer in my family.I don't work with anyone that tries to up-sell me. $9,000 is ridiculous.

Pre 1980 is almost certainly Class C.Cap rates have depressed no doubt.
