LOL :oops: Likely there is something in your lease pertaining to their keeping their place and the common areas free from their garbage as well as respecting the other tenants (for whatever reason).

Guys...I have to respectfully disagree with you.

I have had clients hand me 20 pages of photo copies of Home Depot receipts- not a good start.

The job was completed on time late Sunday evening.Whether it is a tenant, a contractor, a fellow investor, or somebody you are walking by on the street, treat them like a human and with respect, you never know when you might need the favor returned!

Bing and Google provide aerial photos to see the houses, and examine the neighbor characteristics.

A quick search and it looks like most only take photos.

They also work their asses off and earn a lot of my respect.

Unfortunately, google maps showcases photos of a property from 2007 and since then the property might have burned to the ground.

I know there are many people making money there, one of my good college friends runs a bunch of south side multifams out there (his stories alone are plenty of reason for me to consider avoiding) but there are just a lot of places you could get an estimated 9-10% return (which is pretty low, IMO) and have a state that has a little more respect for landlords and other small business owners.

@Jon HoldmanI will allow myself to respectfully disagree.
