In 6 months they broke 3 light fixtures - I had reports their kids were spraying a garden hose from the outside of the house into the kitchen, broke a large kitchen cabinet door, broke several plastic pieces of a new higher end Fridge, fist sized hole in the wall, carpet stains and the entire house may need another repaint, damaged woodwork, scratched kitchen cabinets, stole the curtain rods, curtains my wife spent a lot of time picking out stolen, destroyed the back yard - let the weeds grow several feet tall in the flower beds etc.  

Repeated failure, brutal humiliation, having your dreams shattered, your finances destroyed, feeling the contempt and ridicule of your acquaintances, the disgust and shame of your family, the abandonment of your fair-weather friends.There's no one more dangerous than the person who has nothing to lose.

Randal Remon read think and grow rich by Napoleon Hill and you will learn the mindset needed to be successful and the mindsets that will destroy success.

I would also do periodic inspections to make sure they are not destroying the inside.

Or do you provide nice fixtures and appliances, only to watch the tenants destroy them?

@Rob Drum  I think part of this comes from those coming from the w2 world and for whatever reason they hate their job  hate their life and think buying rental property will be nirvana  LOL.I never quite got the hey I am going into landlording so I can be retired and never worry again.. granted its a business and you create income by RISKING a ton.. and then counting on others to pay you and not destroy your assets.. some areas are simply easier than others to achieve this..

On the other hand, if property values and rents do not change over time, then after inflation that is actually negative appreciation, and that destroys cash flow over time since CapEx always seem to keep up with inflation even if rents and prices do not.

I literally had one of them tell me "all tenants are bad and will just destroy your sh**!" 

One natural disaster or financial crisis can destroy rental income for years in a given market. 

But, the lawmakers are destroying the state.
