If by healthy you mean personal health, we are getting a Fresh Market and a new Kroger Marketplace, along with having a couple great local places like Hendersonville Produce and the farmer's market during the summer - people are wanting more and more healthier options here so it is slowly but surely happening in Hendersonville.  

And honestly that is not being a jerk tenant, that is just making a legal, economic/business decision.

Depending on the area, the city/county health inspector may actually choose to be there for the removal (not fun), but in our cases there was no leakage.

I think this is dependent on the person's mentality, net worth, other assets, health etc.Let me explain.

Sorry to hear about your family health issues, but glad that the military helped the family with the PCS .

Let me start by saying, I'm no economic expert.

They are different asset classes and not necessarily correlated to all the same underlying economic metrics though they 'can and do' have overlap. 

SF may be a beacon for things to come in other cities and regions if the economy continues to expand...although economic results have been highly mixed.

But I have a friend who has a recent foreclosure on his credit report and he and his wife have various other health related credit report flaws.I thought of just buying them a house and renting it to them - but there must be some other  'creative'  methods for them to buy a house directly?  

Instead of using 5% vacancy, I used 10% because I expect a high economic vacancy for the type of tenant that was put in place.
