@Justin German Maybe ask the tenant if we wants to purchase the property from you?

Yes, you can buy units in Memphis for $5k per door and I know how tempting that looks for a California investor, but it's a contact sport and you need to be physically present to do a project like this.  

I have wonderful conscientious tenants who are having a german roach problem that Truly Nolan has determined is coming from a next door neighbor (I believe the tenant is Sec 8).

I would consider putting them in your name so you can protect your fridge (if it can be salvaged - German roaches can get in the back of appliances and destroy them).  

., I have suspicions that she faked a LL reference because the previous LL has the same unusual German surname as her boyfriend.

This can include but not limited to Pit Bulls & Staffordshire Terriers, Doberman Pinschers, Rottweilersj, German Shepherds, Chows, Great Danes, Presa Canarios, Akitas, Alaskan Malamutes, Siberian Huskies, andWolf-hybrids 4.We would prefer no puppies or dogs less than 1 year of age due to “accidents” but do understand that at some point, this may be desired.

In my own personal home, I do have a German Shepherd so I'm not a large dog hater.  

After that, it is up to the tenant to keep the place clean to avoid issues such as german roaches but to realize that palmetto bugs may still be able to enter (they are often drawn to water during very hot, dry spells). 

I was a bit taken aback since it is a husky/german shepherd mix which does not fall within the confines of our allowable pet policy.

I personally love living in a big urban area and enjoying all of the attributes of it(walkability, mass transit, culture, diversity, incredible restaurant and nightlife options, architecture, pro sports, entertainment), but I realize that's not for everyone.
