Because after all, your tenants are your life blood, and great tenants are gold.

You can't get blood from a turnip.So, in your situation. 

I don't own a car so gas station isn't really applicable for me, but grocery alone give great cash back. it also recently added streaming services (e.g. netflix) for 6% if you didn't know!

there would be blood in the streets.  

New blood?

CSI and a rug limited most of the blood that was left to clean up.

There looks like blood on the carpet as well.  

With bank financing you might be able to pick up a few.Or, buy a pool of non-performing notes and get them performing for the income stream.

I'm looking to get out quick (3-6 years), and hopefully do so with rentals.We are in a college town so there is a steady stream of tenants.

@Thomas Peddle - If you reimburse them for the blinds, they are yours to keep and the headache of getting and installing blinds is gone.If you don't reimburse them, they can take the blinds with them when they move out and there is bad blood between you and them for the remainder of the lease.
