I felt bad for the old woman since I have an 83 yr old mom and figured that she would keep to herself and not be a problem.

I can't beat anyone here on "grossness" but my first eviction involved my first tenants; a older woman, her adult daughter and the daughters two teenage children, one of whom had a baby during the tenancy.All five skipped out over one weekend leaving me what ended up being 45 bags of garbage. 

People like doing business with people they like and trust might as well be you.I remember a long time ago my first income property when I went down cellar with the man of the household I told my wife to sit in the kitchen with the woman of the household get her to talk about all her family memories in the house, then I had my wife talk about what memories she sees with our family in the house.

Ilive in a small town and even though I personally didn't know the woman who passed, everyone else in my family did.

One woman said, "I'm afraid to stay here now because I think someone might show up looking through the windows!".

Second, I had no idea this woman was top tier before I called her.

Bought a home from a deceased elderly woman's heirs.

I just don't think that many people can resist opening a letter from some strange woman in Santa Barbara.

I spent a good deal of money on Yellow Letters and we got angry calls, rambling weirdos, and one woman who assumed the letter came from a 'special needs' person.
