Thanks so much for the wisdom the community shared in this post.

@ Sue KellyThanks for the words of wisdom -- Your points are all valid and hard to argue against.

I suspect short-term investors don't see the wisdom in that.

Words of wisdom!

I would also understand the wisdom of a landlord that would take a hands-off approach too.

Thanks, all for the input and wisdom.

Take them out to dinner at a nice restaurant and encourage them to talk about their experiences, really share their wisdom with you and your wife.

Some people walk very "heavy footed", some people unconsciously tap their foot, pace back and forth, etc....even just dropping the remote control for an xbox can make noise that sound like you are dropping a hammer....the area rugs will help, but, sometimes the downstairs tenant cant handle living underneath, sometimes the upstairs tenant can't manage to not be a naturally(unintentional) noisy neighbor, and other times one of them is just a psycho.Of the hundreds of tenants I have had at that building, I would say most try their best to walk softly and be aware of the neighbors(especially if you have soft way of encouraging that type of empathy), and the ones that are not good at living below people, eventually move.

Doesn't quite really like it unconsciously.
