Other than Mabank and Gun Barrell the local police departments have gotten pretty abusive.

I'm a more experienced churner then investor ( here learning)Using the method your mentioning has the potential to raise flags with the CC companies for misuse of the programChase has been known to shut down accounts and Amex calls you for a "audit"The method is valid but carries some risk if abused

I'm not suggesting that anyone should abuse this position, but it's comforting to know that I have strong laws and court systems to turn to if it goes south.I realize from a financial perspective, it's a loss going the eviction route, but part of me is really enjoying the whole process.

Common at apartment complexes, covered of open parking.I'd say leaving a '65 Goat in some distant garage would be deemed as classic car abuse....LOL

Chris:There is a report abuse link right below the "Quote" link in the poster information box next to the post.I reported the posts in question earlier this morning.

Tenants the world around abuse included utilities if they have any control over them.

Placing the blame on the stated income loan products is like saying a vicious dog is at fault for biting someone, when really it’s the abusive owner of the dog who is at fault.

You can change a rental house to a retail house when you go to sell it, but a retail house will not last long as a rental house.Caveat, I'm not saying do nothing to the house for 20 years or anything, fix stuff and replace stuff as it breaks, harden your units so they will withstand the abuse of tenants, and upgrade your units as necessary to compete in the market.

The reason it came about was due to abuse of personal information. :)

Some people might look good on paper as a professional renter, but can more often than not turn out to be a nightmare that abuses your lovely property.... simply because they've never owned anything.In closing, I just prefer dealing with knowledgeable people verse those who are ignorant.
