But, for now, at least there are collections to be seen on credit reports, and there are eviction databases, which just collect the raw data of who filed evictions against who - which is public data.But, really, if someone's credit score is good, with regular on-time payments, and their work history is good, and the length of time they usually live somewhere before moving is good - I just think it's rare to get any real problem tenants if they meet this criteria.Now, they could end up being whiney, picky pains in the rear - wanting new flooring or complaining about whatever, all the time.  

Regardless of the feedback you receive, you will have to make the final decision and you will have to bear the fruits of your choice, I would say go with your intuition based on the information you have at hand.  

I asked the building inspector who he would hire to do certain jobs when I was developing a raw land parcel. 

Everyone wants the low hanging fruit.

Buying raw land to develop scares me.

Turnkey companies also try to automate the process, but starting from the markups above fair value and ending with the inability to perform magical acts, I think most "turnkey" investors end up with a raw deal.

And yes, private communications about finance are more fruitful than any forum.....with qualified folks. :)  

As well as developing raw land into a subdivision and building custom homes.We are trying to decide if it is time to jump back in.

Just raw land for example drops by about 10X from property on/near lakes like Torch and in tourist towns, to a few miles down the road, or the next town over..Houses IN my town for example, including property, are worth less than it would cost to build one, or even put a decent manufactured house.. 

And lastly raw land in path of progress for passive investing and HUGE generational returns.. my thought is most of these folks are in their 30s making great money what is a few rentals at 200 a month going to do for them I showed them how they could invest in deals that would make millions not.. drip money.. plus they are smart enough on their own to understand the concept of being a landlord.and the coolest thing is they had two huge screens and Google Earth.. so I could drill down to the google earth do the street view.show why I think a certain area is hot..
