They didn’t have to break the door thankfully but they had to break my $200 touchscreen lock and then sent me a 300+ locksmith bill as well as a 900+ junk removal bill although there were no furniture left in the unit and the junk removal people only removed left over food from the fridge and the freezer!!!

If so, what are some good appreciating markets with good economic growth and safety?

@KarlB- That's also another way of looking at it...good food for thought.

We did one smart thing--we financed with long-term debt and we used low leverage (60% +/-) so we have a wide margin of safety and no threat of a loan maturity until 2031, so we have plenty of time to ride this out until the next market cycle. 

Income: Strong and can be used as a safety net if if needed.My main question is: Cash vs.

Great guest and food for thought. 

They also do not work in a timely fashion so if it’s a rental that could be a problemJust food for thoughtFor us what we make sure we do is service and maintain our equipment like hvac and appliances which often leads to longer life spans

Tenant B replied that he was tired of “this” and that he wanted his lease terminated because he feared for his safety.

When homes are pulled in a safety inspection must be paid for prior to the home being occupied.

There are a couple spots around town I would avoid, but I chose to raise my kids here and have never been concerned for their safety.
