They usually dont damage the place because they all dont have permanent residence and dont want to get into conflict with anyone usually.

One option you might try is to go to Bi- Weekly Payments, this way you collect on the same cycle as their paychecks.As long as both of your tenants still have their jobs, I would ride it out, the 2nd thing is how are they maintaining the property, are you going to have to spend thousands of dollars on repairs because of damage to the property.

Here's some hopefully, helpful cut & paste info:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Laminate countertops can hold up pretty well and if damaged, will need to come out of the security deposit - lower cost product, so a larger percent of it gets paid for if damaged.
