Itś possible you could think the areas is cool and profitable but it could be a violent, unrentable area saturated with drug wars and extensive degrees of violence.

Keep your leases to 1 year or less and you will be fine, especially if you have fixed rate debt.Real estate (with debt) is a great inflation hedge.Thanks for your good advice.Unfortunately inflation skyroketting during political upheavls is not unusual.I nearly escaped one when people savings evaporated overnight.People in the USA have not experienced this recently and seem to not do anything about what is going on.I would not discount this scenario only because I have seen the "undemocratic and violent ways" when the ship goes down. 

I wonder how many people that came to the BLM rallies that turned violent stayed in AirBNB's.

The only criteria for tenant screening should be income and criminal history: only violent and sex crimes should be grounds for denial. 9. homes that are currently rented by someone can no longer be sold to people who intend to live there.

Instead you should ask the original tenant to follow the lease, and evict the extra person if needed.THERE is a reason he did not apply on his own--violent felony, past evictions, no job, bad credit, some reason that is a bad reflection on him of why his name was not on the application. 

@Eddie Torres "Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man" - Ronald Reagan.

In 2016 I was incarcerated in federal prison for a non-violent drug charge.

So you're OK with drug dealers and violent sex offenders living in your rentals as long as the roommate is a good person?

This has led to demonstrations that have turned violent, and these events have hurt the economy, which tumbled into recession.

We qualify tenants using Resident Research and we screen for the following: - 600 + credit score- No sexual, drug or violent related crimes - No previous evictions - 2.5 to 3x income to rent ratio, verify with paystubs- Like to see a minimum 1 year job history, verify with paystubs - Call previous landlord (if applicable) for reference I'd do some online research for local companies who do the following:  HVAC, plumbing, electrical and general handyman.
