Define the "opportunity". 

How you define an entity is up to you!

In such a case, if the written lease contains a clause stating that all lease provisions continue to apply after the written leaseexpires and the tenant stays on with amonth-to-month lease, then the rights and responsibilities of each party, as defined by the expired written lease, remain in effect.With any month-to-month lease, the landlord can raise the rent, change or terminate the agreement at the end of each month,with proper written notice to the tenant.

Define long time. 

Since I am still new to the game, I don't have a clearly defined strategy to real estate investing yet.

Suggestion: look at the timing of large item pickup program compared to the length of time code inspectors give to resolve the issue and then define you pricing based on the fines.

In my opinion this decision means one believes the market will return to normal as defined by what happened 5 years ago.But that is not a sure thing.I paid 11.75% interest rate for my first house back in 1980.

If not I would work on defining what you are looking for before looking for an agent in each city.

Also, make sure you define "searching for deals".

That said, my houses I define as "clean, safe, and functional."
