So, just make sure you know the rules you have to play within there. 

I want to play Devil's Advocate for a minute and postulate that just maybe she was letting emotion rule the day -- that emotion being fear.

@Josue Vargas I leave a new shower curtain and rings, felt pads for under the furniture legs, furnace filters and a brand new roll of toilet paper on each holder.

Lots of different ways to play this.

I grew up on the Northside and that was my only reason to ever be over there.It's next to Braddock and most folks rarely mention "Braddock" without saying "warzone", so I would imagine it would be a high risk play to invest in Rankin.

The other 2 are in B-class neighborhoods of Indy and have brand new mobile home rentals they are offering for $800/month.
