Meth leaves a chemical residue behind that will seep into walls, so you'll have to use something pretty strong, and wear respiratory and skin (gloves, sleeves and goggles) protection.

I went in- held firm and made my demands known in a respectful manner.1 down... then commenced the cleansing of the bad peeps... all by myself- now I have a skin like an alligator and my remaining tenants know I am the real deal.

The tenant/buyer will now have "skin in the game".  

Don't think seniors or the elderly have thin skin, certainly be nice and polite, but you can still be stern if need be.Seniors (55+), (okay, I'll admit hitting this stage) are not elderly, when they hit elderly, 75+ you get into another crowd.  

Their skin in the game tells me how bad they really want it done.

With literally almost 0% skin in the game, and a border to cross legally to pursue recourse (if it were needed), it just isn't feasible.

Chances are that you will probably decide to get out of the business once the hassles are too much.The most irritating part is that all your applicants are lying.

And only last week, this principle saved my skin on a property I made a huge mistake on early in my career.

Even just writing this is irritating me again. lol

Soooooo busy....long shifts....tired me....BUT....definitely a source of inspiration to get more properties and kick this thing in gear.I want to add to everyone that this is exactly the kind of discussion that I was hoping to have...many amazing suggestions from lots of great folks....experts in their fields debating the merits of their different strategies...and debate over which ideas presented would be right given the parameters of the original question....and for everyone's input...We (probably everyone on BP as well) am/are truly thankful.I do believe that it is possible for everyone to have their own passionate beliefs about REI strategies(or anything for that matter)...and as they say...their is more than one way to skin a cat....that we have so many EXPERTS that are willing to join into such a discussion is also a blessing, because we are able to learn from so many different points of view.I hope that the spirited debate currently going on does not hurt anyone's feelings however...threads like these can easily have meanings misinterpreted (much easier to talk about these things in person) and without intending to people can wind up coming away with a bad taste in their mouths....That just seems to be the nature of online debate...but I feel that the players here are...for the most part...understanding that this is all for learning purposes...and that I would hope we could all go out for a beer afterward....figure a way to use the best of all strategies together and all come away with Lambourginis!!!
