He was aware of their poor behavior and the tenants appear to have abandoned the property post robbery.

I'm mainly referring to a situation where someone in a position of power is taking advantage of people who hold the weaker position, the people in the weaker position usually have no way to come out on top while the person in the stronger position continues with no penalty for their behavior. 

I think they're looking more for a bird dog to locate properties and don't understand the true nature of the 1031. 

Buyers are not stupid, and even though the market has supported that behavior in the past (sometimes the very recent past), many buyers are just not willing to pay a premium price for the average property. 

You want to create behaviors (the act of referring).

Tampa is dog eat dog right now. 

The PM inspects and discovers the dogs tore up your carpet in three rooms ($2,000), scratched holes in a couple interior doors ($300), didn't take care of the lawn ($1,000), and didn't clean anything in the house ($500).You've saved $200 a month for nine months ($1,800) but your losses are $6,300.

With my dogs and the costs of boarding/renting, it makes financial sense to just own a cheap home in a C or D-class area of another town.

It is ALWAYS applies, I don't care if it is my 94 year old grandma THOSE ARE THE RULES READ THE LEASE I HAVE NO CHOICE :)The idea that you can not change tenants and their behavior when they have been given too much wiggle room is incorrect. 

After they finish their ham and turkey dinner I’d give each tenant a big screen led TV and a stocking stuffed with care with little trinkets they enjoy such as a pack of Newport’s , some lotto tickets and a large bottle of mad dog booze .
