Any appreciation of the properites is just icing on the cake.

If they are embezzling money and there is proof talk to the DA if you want criminal charges, or take them to court with a lawsuit if you want money and a judgement against them.

This is beyond crazy and I'm extremely frustrated at this complete failure of the MN justice system. 

Also, you have people who have invested in safe, and high crime areas, so you can bounce ideas off of them there.For the most part personally, we made sure we secured the building in a way that really deterred criminals, and made sure we do a block by block analysis - learn how to read which blocks were good, and which ones we should stay away from.

Sit down with them and literally exchange criminal checks.

There are also really bad neighborhoods where you can find islands of super nice, clean, housing with very few criminal elements on the block.

You can get credit reports right at your desk, check criminal records online, look up court case info, etc.I wouldn't buy any houses that don't meet my current criteria.

One, you can get close to steering, an approved list would probably avoid that issue.Making any attempt to discredit any insured lender by false claims is illegal, or to interfer with any bank promoting lending activities can land you in court, it can be civil and criminal.

Pets, smoking, early termination, property maintenance, criminal actions, etc should all be considered.

I did it with 12 new constructions I had in MS... however my renters were not C or even B class they were managerial in most instances or very well established building a new 500 to 1mil dollar home and needed a place to rent for a year while the home was under construction.that type of thing.even with that I had one totally trash one of my new homes to the tune of 35k damage.. it happens.I did get some insurance out and I subragated to them and they filed criminal charges against out tenant but I bet I still lost 10k or so in that exchange..
