She has yet to be a day late in paying rent, keeps the unit in good condition and is locked in regardless of what the lease says since most property management companies in this area have a policy that prohibits residents who have been evicted within the past 3 years.Since buying the building in 2012 I have raised the rents 17%, I have decreased the high turnover due to better management practices and better tenant screening* and I have won favor with the neighboring homeowners as I have made visual improvements to the structure.  

Is the repair/maintenance mostly cosmetic to improve the visual impact?

I got my A$$ kicked in the crash and viewed never to get caught with my shorts around my ankles again (sorry for the visual)... 😬 ..., I've made a good recovery after a lot of tears and hard work.

The negatives are the condos are in a great area and are appreciating at a minimum of 3-5% a year, with a re-sell market as SFR where the four-plex would only appeal to investors (mostly).  

@Max Gradowitz@Gene Hacker,I like Kern county/bako but the numbers i'm seeing in DFW area are very appealing.  

They show you in a more visual form where you're headed.

Sent out mold company they told that impacted area is dry there is no visual sign of mold.
