I suspect this was due to lack of maintenance..we were being charged for new carpet and painting, and cleaning the apartments but after talking to the tenants they tell me when they moved in they received none of that..I immediately started making things right and making repairs.. i hired a full time handyman who is working night and day to catch up years of neglect..I have filled all 13 vacancies in the last 2 months, kicked out the squatter and collected more than $14,000 in back rent from my 2 non payers.. they know I am on site and will not be tolerating any ******** from here on out..

You will find companies investing in all neighborhoods with returns as high as your risk tolerance will allow.If you decide on Memphis you can message me with any specific questions you have.

What is your tolerance and what is the legal tolerance in your area.

FIRST establish your investor identity; what type of deals do you want to get involved in (flips, wholesales, buy & hold, rent to own, etc), what type of property do you want to invest in (single family homes, multi family, commercial, etc), what's your risk tolerance, what sort of returns do you expect to get, do you want to be hands on or make it as passive as possible, etc.SECOND pick a strong market based on it's ability to meet your investor identity and based on strong fundamentals like I mentioned above.THIRD put together your team in that market.

The children should also call adult protective services if they believe any kind of abuse or coercion is going on, including financial.Gotta say though, the fact that the family has informed Brie all of these issues and she's the one asking questions and trying to help suggests that the family probably has a high tolerance for T.'

It really depends on your tolerance for this kind of thing.

A repeated pattern of this bothers me and I will not tolerate it.

Find somebody better and never tolerate a violent tenant in your property.

Let the tenant know there is a zero-tolerance policy on it.  

@Gerald Demers You're lucky that the moderators are treating you kindly (while you are new to BP, at least) as you have shared outside resources and websites, which seems to upset them.Also, you suggest that people actually spend money, which appears to be another thing that is not PC to the newbie-biased moderators.I also agree with you and Flyboy Jay that part of the nuance of investing is knowing what research  to do when, and to know your own tolerance for risk.
