I used to always say I was going to trade up as my unit numbers got where I thought they should be but as a property manager of mine once said " Dean, why sell something you know hoping for a better situation, Just put the cash flow towards another one and you will soon have another one you know just as well"  I haven't sold one yet, I guess if the grand kids want to sell the choice is up to them.

It is a total homerun...maybe a grand slam.

The point here is that you don’t have to start off with a grand slam.This approach served me very well as I never got too over my head with my investing. 

Tenants do dumb crap all the time but it's not really gonna be the biggest worry on your plate in the grand scheme of things.

One unit not paying for 3 months is $2,100 of lost profits plus the management/attorney costs, and then another few grand to turn the property over. 

Even southside neighborhoods such as; Chatham, Woodlawn, South Shore, Washington Park, Kenwood, Grand Boulevard, Hyde Park, Oakland, Douglas experienced population growth.

Sorry for the hard-learned lesson:(Maybe look down south to the Deroit area or Grand Rapids, so you don't have pressure to hire them again!

You have found a way to massively scale foolishness on a grand scale as quickly as possible. you didn't get the house of cards comment above because you have no concept of the grasp of risk-adjusted reward.

Anyone familiar with the casa grande, AZ market?

Then offer them a grand to leave.
