If you try and push it too far to maximize your savings and things start to turn for the worse, you'll put yourself in a bad situation that could destroy all your savings. 

Generally speaking, new independents can't surround themselves with successful others (not without paying something, at least), because everyone around them wants to destroy them (and vice versa).We should all be done with this thread!

I wasn't going to say anything that could make my move out worst or them destroy my house.

I highly suggest especially to out-of-state investors, to really take the time to find an honest, fair manager who won't destroy any profit, and then want to sell the house for them. 

That's enough to destroy your cash flow for at least a year.

During her tenancy her boyfriend totally destroyed the back entry door (cost $600).  

The property looked abandoned - weeds growing 3 ft high at the security gate and pillars, tree limbs down, driveway lights (3/4 mile driveway) all broken and destroyed due to driving over them. 

They absolutely destroy the units - have NO respect for anyone else's property.  

You'll screen out the people who don't have bank accounts and/or know they won't pass the credit check.You'll always have a bunch of hopeful applicants, who will waste your time checking them out, hoping you won't be thorough.For any checks I collected and didn't use, I'd ask them if they wanted to come pick them up (by appointment only) or let me destroy them.  

They're just on hard times, but they probably will figure out somewhere to go, rather than destroy their credit or references.You could also tell them that for future references, you will say that the lease was terminated as agreed, with just the dates of tenancy.
