Two or three years ago we had a storm that shut the entire season down and caused significant damage to people's property and streets.    

I mean, they are technically a squatter themselves so why not just put another squatter in that will make them miserable wow keeping them from damaging the property who will then vacate the property whenever that one’s gone.

Here's some copy & paste advice we hope you find useful:----------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Did it sustain damage?

The owner had no clue and didn’t initial the “liquidated damages” clause.

JUST the perfect tenant.. all 700 plus fico and never miss a payment and the only damage done in 4 years now was an ottoman that had something hot put on it and the tenant replaced it..

I furnished them from estate sales and local furniture shops, and the furniture/sheets/towels become damaged over time and need some care.I have a PM manage the remote houses, and they cash flow just fine, the PM handles issues that come up, and they paid off the debt on them once.  

When a tenant leaves owing $2,000 in damages, reporting them to a credit reporting agency may pressure them into paying you to protect their credit.

Next, ask them if you can inspect the property for any damage prior to agreeing to the payment amount.

The only thing I want to know is if the rent is paid in full and on time, the house is not being damaged and they're not causing trouble.
