Due to a pregnancy and special needs newborn, I took a step back right before taking the plunge on my first deal awhile back to take care of family first.

We are upgrading due to my pregnancy.

Pregnancy, babies, holidays, the court takes into consideration all of this, and usually will not evict or remove someone until AFTER THE HOLIDAYS.

Also, to create "D.R.E.A.M Center" homes (multi unit) for crisis pregnancies, recovering drug addicts, "work-for-a-bed" transitional people, and those in "emergent need".

@John Bell Congrats on the pregnancy! 

My hypothesis is that we live in such an instant gratification world that some people forget that "anything worth doing and doing well takes real effort, unwavering commitment, and time" (this is nature - pregnancy takes 9 months, seeds take a while to become a tree).

I mean seriously, that's like an abortionist bitching about unplanned pregnancy's.     

Right now I am dealing with a tenant who I am going to have to visit and collect cash from because she has a sick 1 month old baby and she is also off work post her pregnancy. 

Diversify the risk of non-payment over more units, set aside some units for crisis housing, some for transitional use for refugees, some for pregnancy crisis use - the list is only limited by our imagination.That kind of building could certainly address the things you've brought up - and a very good property management company would be mandatory.  

But after 5 years and them talking of stress and pregnancy, I'd definitely honor their request to wait until they've left as work likely has to be done before showings begin, anyway.
