I worked as a service technician for more years than I care to remember and I can honestly say I never did find a problem that I didn't solve.

They do not “care” as long as the mortgage is under the borrower name.

One drawback for me was the property tax rate for PG county seems to be high which in turn cuts into monthly revenue for a rental.

The gas company came changed my gas valve because my bill cut in half. 

Just curious, not challenging your statement but how does bankruptcy "demonstrates financial immaturity and risk" since: Bankruptcies resulting from unpaid medical bills will affect nearly 2 million people this year—making health care the No. 1 cause of such filings, and outpacing bankruptcies due to credit-card bills or unpaid mortgages, according to new data.

@Eduardo Zepeda,It sounds like you're doing the right thing, and advising them to lower the price and cut their losses, but some people are stubborn.     

While you can theoretically raise the rent, you might very well be better off to look at a 20 applicant pool as a wonderful thing and carefully select a high-quality, long-term tenant at your current price. 

I will be more careful who I hire.I was reading up last night. 

Be careful with appliance warranties from power companies.

I really wouldn't care, but when you have a homeowner losing their home because they're caught up in a contract with someone who has a clause that says the contract is subject-to finding an end buyer & gives them permission to market the property it's no different than a contract that's subject-to flipping 3 keys of coke & finding a cheaper distributer.
