Police say if they had already been evicted and came back to do damage it would be criminal but since they were still there it falls under contract and is civil.

If you get separate polices and each have Liability coverage there could be overlap.  

I understand it can be confusing .. any i am not the internet police .. just giving you a heads up .. 

If you decide to proceed, I would ask for a bigger deposit to mitigate your risk, make your rules and expectations clear, and I would contact the police station to see if you can get notification of any police calls to the property.  

@Ersi Bice  you need to make the distinction between and investment and a business.if your going into the  ghetto and or hood you need to be in the business of running rentals. if you think your going to make an investment in these properties and sit back and collect rent well then you probably not going to have happy day and chances are you will lose most if not all of your investment..If you choose to go into the business of running low end rentals then put a business plan together the team together and go big.. you need to have 100's of doors to so you can spread your loss's over the entire portfolio.. because you will take loss's.. the Ghetto and hood populations are extremely transient by nature.. ( you can get the long term tenant) but that's not the norm... so your dealing with a lot of turn over.The other issue is security of your properties.. if you don't have near police state type security your properties will get stripped of anything of value within a very short time.Look up DAWGS systems in Chicago you will see how the rehabbers there need to secure the properties. if you not prepared for this you will get wiped out end of story.

For crime data, a simple Google search of the submarket crime data or calling the local police department and asking them about the neighborhood will help gain significant awareness of where the neighborhood is headed.

I got a call from police and city inspectors about it.

We've been in touch with this guy, who filed a police report the same day we saw him.

The Internet is changing the world in ways that we of today can not imagine, it is projected that with Amazon same day delivery the super market's days are numbered and with artificial intelligence in the back ground the "Suggested for you" will open up whole new ethnic markets to white anglo saxon descendants. 

We can still honor our Ancestors and build for our descendants without condemning anyone else.I don't believe it was your intention but your comments denote a negative tone and seem to be based on your opinions of what you have passively observed.
