If not, then you may want to consider other options as the rental partnership may be unstable. 

We were leaning towards a multifamily in the cities around the bay area but was told and have read the risks of unstable tenants.We were looking in Modesto area on Zillow so far just to get an idea.

Recently this tenant has been delving into heavy drinking and living a rather unstable lifestyle, has lost job (but got a new one) and not responding to my texts when bills are due.

There are lots of reasons for this: no down payment; no job history; unstable employment situation (frequent transfers, for example); does not want to maintain/rehab a home; wants to live in a nicer area than buying would allow; ETC.We have some older women who could afford to buy, but like being able to just call us if something goes wrong rather than hunt down their own repairman and pay the bill out of their pocket.

It would be rare for the lady to continue paying taxes on the building if she was foreclosed on...those being foreclosed on often can be psychologically unstable and volatile... paying property taxes usually is no where on their radar.

Hi everyone, I’m very new to this, and considering how unstable the market/economy is, I’m even more confused on where to start or who to trust.

you can find it pretty easy in very rural areas were jobs are extremely weak.. pretty much any sub 30k pop town 1 hour from a major msa in the mid west this can be done.issue there is different than high risk inner city crime etc.. its just more houses than peeps and very low incomes lead to very unstable tenant base.. but you can get lucky.. many do.

I’ve been laid off 3 times in the past 5 years due to the unstable oil field and I’m tired of putting forth my best efforts into a company that is going to let me go.

I can't help but think that piling up some cheap cash will be a good move but interest rates just keep going down and the world seems pretty unstable.

I would say any kind of cracks that can potentially get worse, water marks of penetration that can potentially grow mold, things not up to code like hanging wire that is not capped, unstable front porch steps, railing.. things that need to be replaced like windows, doors..
