The taxes seem like they need to be reduced for sure.

I am in a C class area and people can be surprisingly dumb about replying to a marketplace ad with the account that's full of their gangster/crime/drug/employment/drama issues.  

Here in Florida, there are law firms who are directing tenants to ask for a 3-day notice, in hopes of catching the landlord/PM in a legal trap that can be used against them in court.Know the law and tread carefully. so is it a federal crime to charge lste fees? 

They get a slightly reduced rent. 

Their policies such as defunding the police in high crime neighborhoods are INCREASING not decreasing black homicide you can already see the immediate affects of this currently.

Fixed up each unit when tenant leaves, took caretaker off her reduced rent and had her pay closer to market value rent.

Paying off the highest debt credit card would be a great goal, leaving the other lower interest rates being reduced over time. 

Some of the basics to look for in a area are:Population growth Job diversity Crime ratesCost of homes vs rent priceJust ask google about the first two and most of the bigger listing websites can give you the last two....realtor.com trulia.com Zillow.comHope that helps.

In my experience, students are higher risk tenants, so you definitely don’t want to reduce the amount you have in insurance.Your lease should have a Severally and Jointly Liable clause.

You will sign paperwork saying you are going to live there and failure to do so is a crime.
