The social peer pressure among the group will usually force them to figure out problems/drama that otherwise would be much harder if they're not in the same social circle.

Never had any dramas mate.And back in the day I'd hang in the heart of the Ghetto.Everyone loves Aussie's also so always a good time.Mr Glock was always in my office as it's just to easy that way.Dundee and his knife"You call that a knife mate" haha

There's always drama with drug addicts and alcoholics, in addition to the stress of group living.

This is the harsh reality (at least for me) to get where you want to be.

It's a harsh reality. 

If anyone is wondering we did offer to rework the loan with the borrower, it would have been a lower return but sill very solid and with less drama.  

Government is full of corruption and drama through out history. 

@Tim Ryan  there is a remote chance that you will get that unicorn tenant that stays in the home for years does not have a bunch of kids that trash the place.. that can happen... however these areas are transient at best..one way to see that is look at all the disconnected dish TV lines many of these homes will have 5 to 10 of those that means 5 to 10 tenants in a 5 year period or less..STRONG property management does not specialize in hood properties.. they lose their butts on these rents are low.. much tougher to collect and simply not worth the drama....

NONE of these "ands" is a guarantee so it mathematically is incorrect to call it a numbers game.it is NOT a numbers game.The harsh reality of the matter is you need to think, and stop accepting opinions from others just because you want them to be true.

I generally advise against townhomes and condos as the HOAs can become harsh and limit your options.
