Healthier homes are becoming more in demand and do have a higher value because they are better quality and last longer.

OK so I'm just gonna put this out here:In a macro prospective, do you guys think that the more investors come into a crime area the healthier it gets ?

Later in this thread is all the hate now that some have underperformed.I think a healthier middle ground is that syndications can be a more passive way to invest in real estate, but requires more due diligence on the front end of the sponsor, the investment, and the terms.

That's a much healthier way to look at it than trying to give your brother a deal when both of you really have a business relationship when it comes to that house.2.5 you are his brother.

I agree with the idea of letting them stay, adding the pet deposit and socking the money away because in the end, this can be a challenge to take care of the odor.On the other hand, if the contractor is not used to cats even one dirty litter box can cause a significant ammonia odor (cats consume a very high protein diet and thus produce a high urea content urine).  

Still look for a deal and don't over pay but really the term 'overpaying' for a cash flow buy and hold investor is obviously determined by what you pay compared to market pricing but MOST importantly what you can cash flow... if you cash flow only $100/mo. then yes you overpaid (in some markets) if your cash flow is healthier then you should be okay in the long term so long as you don't sell during that time and you are fine not needing to refinance during that time.

Guess who gets to review his diet with him? 

In the US we are on a high consumption diet.
