I thought it was a body bag. 

And leave it at that.My 4 unit is a former general store and as with many small, old towns, the rear was the mortuary/embalming location before the bodies were then taken back to homes for the wake/funeral.

What we also see in Columbus are incredibly high rent rates.  3/2's can easily bring in $1200-$1400 in good condition and 2/1's can bring in $800-$1000. 

So I was hoping to get the suggestion from some body who is involved in real estate ( a flipper , an agent , a lender) as this might be a famous concern among their clients .

Let's see...having a tenant turn into a missing person and the police find his body by the railroad tracks. 

With all the desert surrounding Las Vegas, one would think there is an abundant amount of land to bury dead bodies or build new homes.

Any body know someone that would like to move some real estate?

I’ve spent the last half a year reading the books, scanning through all of your posts and thoughtful responses, and listening to way too many podcasts.

Thanks @Ben HowardHere are some quick insights (lists) about the Sacramento County MFR 2-4 market:16,044 properties designated MFR 2-45,056 owners live outside Sacto County4,476 owners live outside of California884 were sold/purchased in last 365 days (~5.5%)2018 YTD: 3432017: 9432016: 8632015: 8124,520 have 100%+ equity796 are underwater12 are in Preforclosure263 marked vacant by USPS143 were purchased at auction by a trustee sale buyer1,445 have had a death of joint tenant in last 365 daysSince 2016, 676 transactions were off-market - and scanning through those buyers a lot appear to be investors as they've done 2+ deals or their LLC name indicates investment orientation.

Not only is there physical wear and tear on the body, there is a lot of emotional stress also.
