In the same time period, employment in Albany fell by 4.0 percent.

I actually fell into the rental market after purchasing and renovating a South Boston condo only to be transferred to San Francisco for my job 3 months after completing it.

I feel like if for some reason the deal fell thru I'd be out all of the tenants and have to start over.  

I never charged a late fee (I know it was my fault for not charging) but I asked them to gradually start paying on time again and they simply said they could not... and on top of that I raised the rent and they saID they would not pay the increase until the property was updated... so I decided to evict them... the problem is... they say they are owed their deposit and their last month rent... they claim that they were paying on time (I have text messages showing they were paying late) and that they want their security deposit back (the house was in horrible conditions when we got it back) to start off... the front door was supposed to be replaced by them because a fireman had to break in because her mom fell and could not get up... then when they were evicted they left a 20 feet by 5 feet high pile of junk outside the yard... they took the locks off the side doors and a door inside my master room, they took a fan from the family room... they took some of the light sockets, they never repainted a black wall in the bedrooms and an orange one in the family room, they took the door off the pantry (not to mention it's literally black of how dirty it was) the new shower I made is now black!!!!

By the way my fiance just became a realtor for Keller Williams last month, so keep that in mind.I had planned on getting back into investing with doing fix and flips (which I have never done before), but my finances fell thru at the last minute.

She was living in the house for some time anyway but fell behind on her taxes.

It fell in price to ~$140k.  

Because, when we bought our Fourplex (using an FHA 203(k) we actually got it because the first buyer's loan fell through (VA) because he had no prior landlord experience, which is a requirement for a VA on this type of property 

So even if you pick a state with stronger protections like WY or NV, the cause of action arose in the state where the tenant fell, so likely that the court where the accident happened would have jurisdiction.California tends to have more laws on the books and requirements and restrictions that it can be a good idea to form a CA LLC for out of state property so that you as a CA resident are covered, and to try to have your contracts fall under the purview of CA courts.

Tell him you fell on hard times and you have to move into his living room.
