We can all read those and share advice on how we would do things differently/better.

The first unit needs a little work but I think I could rent for $1000/month in general and that is what I told my friend I would rent to him at.He hasn't submitted an application because he told me he's trying pay off some overdue parking tickets and just wants to be in a better financial spot before committing.

The unit does look better, but only because I've been on her about it.

etc find out where they are coming in, put in better screens to stop them from coming in. 

I’m here to connect and learn from everyone in the industry and hope to make a better deal on the next property as my first purchase was a new build.

Is there one that is better than the other?

Better deals out that.

If the market is such that no single family property cash flows, better to look at other types of assets.

All that would be better to do with the police there overseeing, giving the situation you have described.Personally, I would give them both a 30-day notice to vacate. 

You can deny her for any reason you want but if she finds one of the aforementioned "ambulance chasers" you had better have a legal reason to point to or you may end up renting from her.
