And its worked rather well considering what I had to start with and where I'm at now.Not that I think I'm a big investor, thats for some of the companies out there that are really just incredible deal makers.

If your unit is more B/C class where you can attract lots of decent hard working entry level to middle class workers then I would focus on improving the units to capture those kinds of tenants and oust the trouble makers you have. 

That may be okay so long as the insured knows who is accountable and has the opportunity for direct communication with the decision maker so it's not some faceless secret committee.

Meth makers would get someone to apply for a rental who appeared to be the perfect tenant.  

My tenant in California just told me that he can’t make rent next month due to the Covid19 pandemic.

Somehow, I sincerely doubt that whatever VA statute that allows the maker of a contract (supposedly) to arbitrarily include a provision that the person who breaches that contract must pay them 25% of the amount on the contract - includes landlord-tenant statutes.So, prove you are right in VA, regarding residential leases.  

I believe most So Cal investors who invest in Midwest turnkey properties likely would have been better served investing locally.However, if I were in one of those low cost Midwest market, I have confidence that I could make RE work in that market.Mostly I believe smart RE investors can profit in virtually any RE market.  

The bug bombs and all that stuff just doesn't work when population levels reach a certain point.The pest control company wore bio suits and filmed the fumigation and treatment of the unit in the building.
