I'd attribute that to the poor management company / lots of miscommunication and just general incompetence.

If the same article shows up on multiple websites, it's worthless (unless other sites copied your content, which Google, even still, has problems with attributing the original author, unfortunately).

So deciding which homes are "better" is something of a complex formula.So I recommend South Side and Friendship based on modern patterns of urban renewal along with some attributes of solid building stock that would offer value to an investor.

I do not have that attribute as an investor.

You also don't need a home run product everywhere you go that gives all the great attributes of real estate.

What are specific questions you ask and specific attributes you seek in finding the right fit between tenant and landlord? 

It is my opinion that in Blink Gladwell's theory and thesis is flawed in attributing superior results to having less information to work with.

I can attribute the good fortune I have to doing things I said I'd do when it was hard, and sticking with financial obligations when walking seemed to make better sense.Having said all this, it is easier to see this in today's climate as a business decision and businesses' primary function is to stay alive.

(There is a recent surge in hands-on management companies and conscientious landlords who actually want nice properties entering the market.)Why it's different this time is only partially attributable to neighborhood improvement efforts.  

My best attribute is to get in front of the homeowner by any means possible.
