And then we "go deep" by paying them off.There are so many moving parts to this: how old are you, how much disposable income do you have, do you have children/college to consider. 

I know a family from New York who has two children here in Lynchburg for school and they are trying to sell their home up North and relocate here.

My business is a children’s retail store.

I know I am late to the punch on this post but I thought I would reply and introduce myself.....My name is Eric McQuistion, I am a devout Husband and Father of three beautiful children and part of a Property Solutions & Management Company in Rochester, NY.

I've had success with calling the city for their problem children, buying properties that are fsbo and mailing owners.

Tenants just tend to be harder on them as they tend to have more youths/children. you’re also by default going to have more people living there.

If you meet that sweetheart and have children the ride your motorcycle around the world and eat Viana sausage days are probably going to be over.

@Mark Cruse"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.

My parents were always home and available to me as a kid, so I want my children to have that same experience. etc etc etc.

It was an emotional decision as my daughter with 3 children was being rejected by lots of landlords.  15 years later she moved out and now I have a viable rental.
