We may see some of them disappear. 

We had a rental that was going to be vacant for 2 weeks, so we let him stay there.The day before closing he disappeared and stopped answering his phone.

The building isn't the safest and I have had gangs/drug dealers make threats in the past but I don't carry a gun or any other type of weapon when visiting the property.

My first job out of college had a match but I didn't see a dime of it because I left after a year.For my goals, I contribute to a 401k so that if my real estate investing fails miserably, my retirement fund doesn't disappear with that.

Sure, we can sue for the back rent, but we all know that a tenant with nothing to lose can simply disappear without much trace. 

The one I have up now I took so that's probably why it hasn't disappeared.

No threat of our military disappearing anytime soon.

I wonder if the threat of law suits can be avoided by proper insurance policies.

So it may be dangerous for outside threats, like a car accident.Nice to connect with you again, my friend. 

With lower income tenants, you have to be consistent and follow through on threats.
