John Anderson No I don't, no federal regulations will prevent me from getting a federal contract even if I have a mere judgement.

You can only underwrite tenants so much but what you can underwrite for, scrutinize as much as you can to prevent bad tenants from happening!

I used base rock (4-6 inches of class 2 base rock compacted at 2-inch lifts), an inch or so of sand, pavers, and a polymer modified sand (which has a little bit of bonding strength) to fill the joints between pavers and prevent weed growth.

It may not help resolve anything but it may prevent someone else from having the same experience.

This would prevent me from having to tap into my cash for subsequent properties.

Hi Paul, I'm from a different area than you, but the situation you are trying to prevent is common to all landlords and property managers. 

Three evictions in 17 years, rent collection is automatic via ACH, maintenance is always preventive so late night or emergency calls from tenants, etc.I have recently changed to having only one group showing a few weeks after the current tenant gives notice that they are moving out.

What is preventing you from buying more?

For example, differing state restrictions would not prevent someone living in a state other than where your parents live to pursue a strategy like this?
