I found that out afterwards.The neighborhood started cleaning up pretty well as time went on, but fortunately for me, I obtained management that knew how to deal with this stuff sometime in 2004(within a year of my purchase.)

Fortunately the market appreciated so much they didn’t lose their pants but it was a stressful year for them.

I have, and I could have rented to the guy and his girlfriend, but, fortunately murderers are not a protected class, yet, so I legally rejected the application and therefore "controlled" who lived in that building.

Fortunately this is just temporary.Maybe you could find another investor who has good guys you could strategically partner with.Some investors will buy properties just to keep their guys fed.

But fortunately we made a ton of money in 09-12.

I would appreciate an expert's opinion about a fortunate situation I'm in.

Add in the fact that real estate cost a fortune to sell if you can sell it at all and there are big consequences for jumping too soon. 

If you’re in over your head, the truth will reveal itself and when it does you’ll want to be on the right side of due diligence, consideration, analysis, liabilities and good fortune. - Relationships.

Fortunately, we have an additional lock on our main house so even if guests try the code, the door still needs a key.For our needs, I think this works fine, but for any future properties I think purchasing something that I can change codes from afar as well as keep tabs on battery life would make life easier. 

@Dor Sagi Thanks, fortunately I haven't had any issues renting out units.
