:@Tanner MarseyNot a big fan of the supposed Ancient Greek concept of "everything in moderation" or <<Παν μέτρον άριστον>>, which doesn't actually MEAN "everything in moderation."

When you finally get to the point of the non-renewal, hopefully you will have all your ducks in a row - violations are ancient history, rent is up to date, notifications of non-renewal were appropriately made.As a last point, I think you made a mistake by informing the tenant you were not going to renew after the first month.

Could be graffiti, gang signs, boarded up houses, loose dogs, undesirable neighbors (for example if people are out on their porches and look less than appealing or are outside screaming and fighting), lots of trash all over, a bunch of ancient vehicles, a nearby business or something that omits a bad odor, etc.

I see that with the "similar posts you may like" bar....some of them are ancient by most standards- so may or may not help, but there is zero reason to comment on them at that stage. 

So this would save a lot of money, if I owned the machines and helical piles, plus some side business installing for others.Then another way to save on materials is the ancient method of pole building.

Or should the U.S. emulate ancient Athens, which adopted democracy, not out of ideals, but toward a stronger army-navy, due to the lowest in Athens would have something to gain.

I guess it doesn’t help that I live in a very remote area with ancient, crappy homes.

Here is the problem with having a park full of these ancient homes even if they are privately owned.

to which Alexander replied laconically, “We’ll use their ships.”In Asia there was Chinese general, Xiang Yu, who ordered his troops across the river and quietly burned the bridge behind them, a tactic that got the boys so motivated that they beat the mighty Qin at the Battle of Julu in 207BC.Julius Ceasar, the Ancient Roman who wrote long letters home so that everyone would know about his incredibly wonderful victories...So, decide what you want to do.

Once I bought a property and found an ancient box behind a fake wall, so I feel your pain on that one!
