Also, you have people who have invested in safe, and high crime areas, so you can bounce ideas off of them there.For the most part personally, we made sure we secured the building in a way that really deterred criminals, and made sure we do a block by block analysis - learn how to read which blocks were good, and which ones we should stay away from.

So I have this new situation that I have not run into before and was hoping some of the experts on this site can guide me.I had prospective tenant complete an application and she is from rural PA (north of Pittsburg) and when I ran her background check she came up clean with the exception if showing a lot of prior addresses - 11 different addresses since 1994.These are all very rural locations and all PO box locations where mail delivery to the house is not available.Should I be concerned about this many addresses (11) over a 15 year period of time.She had no evictions or criminal judgements and I really could not find anything that could be considered a major red flag other than the number or different addresses and the fact that they were mostly (6 out of the 11) PO boxes.Should I be concerned or not worry about it and rent the house to her and her two kids?
