Is there a registry of bad tenants?

Not a bad months work but they would probably be finding less deals if they were spending most of their time flipping and rehabbing.

Or am i missing something and these are bad deals all together?

For cash flow on rentals I would say upstate NYFor flips or cash flow I would say the smaller towns around OrlandoBUT with all real estate investing I highly recommend doing the numbers and getting out there and see things for yourself Unless you know someone in the area who is knowledgeable of the good, the bad and the ugly and can help you. 

There are a lot of bad ones!  

Nothing wrong with passing on a bad deal, but did you try offering $202k?

I heard the drive was bad!

Your bad luck but you accepted it as is when you signed your lease.Your concerns are for the most part unfounded.

I have some cash to be ready to jump in, it isn't that bad of an idea.

One of the tenants has brought to my attention some bad looking mold in his bathroom tub and shower.
