That's the magic number I was looking for all this time George!

Bureaucrats think that if they write things on paper and give it their blessing then it will magically fix real-world problems, but vaguely enforceable laws like this won't cure bad landlords. 

I understand - there's many layers of the situation, and I'm not looking at booting this guy as the magic bullet that fixes all our problems.But the real estate part of this is: If husband/wife are jointly listed on a mortgage, but disagree on whether a tenant should stay ... can one party press the eviction process without the other's consent?

I think the magic number is something like 40-50 properties last time I checked where it begins to make economic sense.

We prepare a move-in gift package that includes cleaning supplies (degreaser, carpet spot cleaner, vinegar, baking soda, magic eraser, disinfectant wipes), cutting board, plunger, hand soap, dish soap, paper towels, and toilet paper, presented in a cleaning bucket and reusable shopping bag. ($30)  At move-in we also loan the tenant the use of drop cloth runners (to protect the flooring on move-in day), furniture moving blankets, furniture sliders, furniture lifting straps, a step stool, and a picture hanging tool kit (with small hammer and picture hooks). 

Schedule your eviction the day before trash day , put it at the curb , when the trash men come , smile , grease his palm and watch the stuff magically vanish . 

"The realtor didn't just magically get the key. 

just doing quick math... if you rent each unit out at $100/night and average 20 days a month, that's $6,000/month and now you're magically in the black.  

@Jake Kozul This is a good idea because tenants think bed bugs magically appear in their apartment and don't grasp how they end up in their unit. 

There is no magical investing utopia that is perfect for everyone to invest in.
