The one I have now is abusing me because I am out of state and they take all of my money via "prop maint".  

As I evolved and grew from my four years of homelessness and a lifetime of trauma, abuse, and violence.

That might be ok with you and they might not abuse it...but buyer beware.

We gave a tour to 20 people in March on a bus.

The garbage attorney advertising on the side of a bus shook us three times for $1,500 per pop until we finally said, "Ok...no...let's go to court".

While most of these homes bought during the recession have been foreclosed on, there are ways to prolong this process in my state so somebody can be delinquent for years before they get foreclosed on.

@Jay HinrichsI wish it was not so, but Trump, or any other president, is powerless to stop a recession, especially one that can potentially dwarf the GFC.He could make it less painful though and let it run its course for a swift resolution, going contrary to Roosevelt’s style in the 30s, which prolonged the Great Depression.

Interesting point here- I find a VERY HIGH correlation between "Thermostat Abuse" (55 degree setpoints in July) and problem tenants. 

They’re easy to work with and don’t abuse the tenants as GTL did. 

@Connie Chan if you’re talking in general for me it’s probably maintenance that I haven’t encountered before (which is becoming less and less) or pro longed vacancy.If you’re talking remote investing (which I’ve also done), then that adds a whole new ball game.I’d say getting ripped off by contractors would be number 1 then, or overpaying for stuff (which happens all the time, mainly to people from the west coast).
