I had been offered units with CofO issues and stayed away from them because I cant figure out what the risk is.

Would it be wise to stay down there?

As a rule of thumb, I don't buy in areas where violent crime is over 1,000, so 1,378 is way out of my comfort zone.http://www.areavibes.com/chicago-il/englewood/crime/

There are neighborhoods we invest in and there are neighborhoods we stay away from.

I plan on riding it out in Central Florida.But with the track still uncertain and seemingly shifting west it's still a guess as to where the worst of Irma will happen.Best wishes to anyone in the path, stay safe and maybe share what you're doing to prepare if you have a moment.  

I want to send a notice introducing us as the new owners and giving them notice that in order to renew their lease they first must consent to a criminal, credit, and eviction screening under our new minimum qualifications/new lease terms for all persons over the age of 18 that live in the home and also inform them that rent will be increasing November giving them the chance to stay if they want  and meet our rental qualifications or decide if it's best for them to move.I want to know does this seem reasonable and if there are some things I should consider before moving forward with this plan?

Stay safe in Miami https://www.valuewalk.com/2017/09/hurricane-irma-miami-damage/

Stay the course.

Good luck with your decision... stay away from laminate! 

Much appreciated, and as always, stay safe.
