It just depends on your personal and professional mentality.

I said I would have called you first but I was going to make more then my basic usual goal amount and didn't want to cause you any severe mental issues.

@Aaron Hunt love the mentality my man. 

If the ex-tenant does take you to court and you bring that mentality with you, you should hope and pray the judge wasn't raised by or is a single mom.

I completely understand why they act the way they do, it's out of fear or the scarce mentality.

There is going to be some BS to deal with so people need to be mentally and financially prepared to deal with it.

If you need to make significant repairs or updates (or clear out some of the hoarded material), but she's mentally not ready for that, you could find yourself in a tough spot. 

A cat or a chihuaha is OK.....A Rotweiller or Pit Bull or Snake is NOT OK.Always ask how many people will potentially live at the unit....You don't want the mother, and grandma, and 4 kids living in the 3 bedroom 1 bath unit.....whatever number they say...always mentally add one more person to that.Regarding Deposits and Application Fees.........If (before they even fill out the application for the background check) they say I don't want to pay $45.00 for a deposit fee if I'm not going to get approved .....that's a red flag.

I'll need systems and a team, along with a strong support network of positive people with proactive can-do mentalities

If you use airdna, my property might look like it Performa at about 30% of what it actually does because I have prioritized mid-term and direct bookings that won't show up on airdna.
