I've done some vague market analysis and it seems to have a healthy steady average growth over the last several years but am curious to other peoples opions and experience. 

She needs to get out of my dad's house, his health is failing him and she is abusing him.

any one could die in apartment anytime even they were healthy.

Buying in cashflow-healthy but management-intensive areas may not be their best choice.  

Havinga five day grace period for the rent, creates a healthy relation with a good tenant.

I factor in their costs in eery deal I analyze, and if I still see a healthy profit, I move forward.

The other thing that you can do is to tell them that you understand that they are housing three more dogs so you need an additional $750 pet deposit ($250 per dog) if they wish to continue.I'm an animal lover, but I also know that it isn't healthy for 5 dogs to be in that small of a space...and as a business person, it isn't good business, either.

Anyway I'm just waiting to pull the trigger after the smoke clears and looking forward to a healthy and long lasting relationship with yourself and others along the way!

Its also that kind of healthy mix of mid-lower economic levels and and various races/nationalities all mixed together.

You might see people saying any money not making 6% or more is a loser, but that idea makes no sense - for example, anyone who owns a lot of rentals (hell, any rental) without a healthy cash balance in their checking/savings account is crazy in my opinion, and yet that money earns more or less nothing.
