Its like trying to educate your kids and make sure they behave when you leave them home alone and you are not home and do not have any cameras to watch them,

I have been on the mom side of a troubled kid so I understand.

Just kidding about the bat, but that might work. ;-)

Same neighborhood, HOA, even the same bus stop for our kids.

Trusting a PM to rehab a property feels like trusting Youtube to raise your kid.

I've actually done both, but typically when it's more than 2 people, pets, or kids are involved. 

PS - we cant not bring in more income at the time, 3 kids under 5 i work full time and so does my wife. 

Do they have kids running around and dogs that bark?

So I'm happy I continue to collect rent for the 3-4 months that it will take me to evict.Obviously, I'd be much happier if the tenant wasn't trashing the house and I didn't have to kick her and her 5 kids out. 

I'd put my kids to bed at night, grab my notebook and pen, and drive.Once I found some spots I liked I started buying.Now there are headlines about Detroit's comeback and population growth.
