The more rental criteria I post, the fewer the calls we get as people are self screening.  

There are many people chasing to fewer deals, for fix and flip.

Analyzing the deals without a lot of study/experience is too dangerous. 

Also, its always good to have more options in life than fewer - you never know how the future will be, so I think its good to have a degree in your back pocket. 

Bad property management gets shorter leases for fewer dollars and makes good properties perform average over there.  

The companies momentum are they funding fewer or more deals.

The renter around this time started running into financial troubles and while they were making payments it started to get dangerously late, so I decided to take a hiatus from rental management and offered him to get out of the remainder of his lease (kind of a hollow offer since he was on month to month) if he would leave quickly so I could sell the property (it was prime spring listing season) and everyone could win.

I've done my due diligence and have driven the areas and looked up the crime reports on-line and so far there are a couple rough areas that I've found but compared to other cities in the U.S. these areas are hardly considered dangerous to me.

Not to mention lots of deferred maintenance that the borrower failed to perform.So the risk of damage isn't eliminated; you might have fewer incidents but you can't expect it to be zero.

While there are some very nice parts of Newburgh, especially down by the waterfront, there are also some very dangerous parts of Newburgh.
