Sometimes it can be mutually beneficial, but I'd tread carefully with expecting tenants to leave. 

I'm aware that might be an illusion that only exists on paper, so I want to tread carefully.

No loud music, no loud company, no loud television - just that his walking across the room above her head drove her mad.He was a really nice, engineering student, so I asked him to try to tread more lightly, if possible, but that was it.  

I would look at the treads and the direction its going for the community and if I´m confident, I can move on it.

Until then, it's going to be negative or treading water. 

This is like going on a dating site and putting in your profile that you have a lot of baggage so tread lightly.BRRRR are the steps.

Of course how you handle this you must tread lightly.

:)There are many that have tread that path before.

In that environment buying in the hood becomes very tempting, but that little bit of cash flow comes with a huge cost in headaches, the probability of property damage (things like a charcoal grill in the living room) and long term you might just be treading water.Average net cash flow is probably around $200 per door after you have stabilized the property, so you need a few units before it amounts to something.

Also figure disposal costs (mattresses especially) and I am going to guess your stairs need repainting (maybe dark blue or brown treads this time) that is not normal wear and tear.
