@Pat L asked the tough question about how the tenant got past the screening process, although people can be good actors (hey, I'm in L.A.).While I could recount tales of tough evictions, I think the main takeaways that other landlords and would-be landlords ought to consider is:1) The incredible unforeseen waste that eviction creates for the investor that can be minimized by effective upfront screening;2) If eviction becomes necessary, not to get all tied up emotionally with the tenants' responses and just keep moving forward.

That doesn't necessarily mean their intent is malicious (like a guru).

Sounds like a bunch of bad reasons to keep a bad actor IMO.As a PM, you should know that the owner must be able to withstand prolonged financial vacancies, especially those where the property remains occupied by non-paying tenants while an eviction is ongoing.

I'm sure there are many bad actors in the hard money space, just as there are in regular mortgages.

Unless it was caught in the act or has pictures or footage of the act. 

NA Onyido   There is two schools of thought on the placing of tenants... one school of thought is if you pick the tenant yourself you can be more selective with your PM in the selection process.I know one hedge fund we flip two they first started wanting everything tenanted.. then they switched and now they want to do their own tenant placement feel they have better command and control.Unfortunately some bad actors in the business have put terrible tenants in and within a few months the tenants are gone etc.. there is a BP thread from an investor off shore who bought Memphis from an Off shore TK company and it had tenants in place that were not good...

Calif is a TD state and is very liberal (I'll have to find out if they've drafted there own Safe Act or follow the Fed's).

In any case, malicious destruction of property like that is pretty obvious, & even a pretty limp prosecutor is likely to put him in the pokey for those kinds of things.

That's why he's such a good actor.
