The cost for me to get this tenant out is 10K plus, it would be double easily if I had gone to court.

I'm thinking it would be easier just to have a cutoff score below which I don't take people, in order to weed these types out easily.

The county will do their best to respond and stand up for codes and laws, this we know, however the burden they carry in modern times is sometimes much greater than they can easily manage.The point I am getting to is this: more absentee landlords and more rental properties means more local tenants who most likely have not been told county laws and whose lease is probably the standard, off-the-shelf issue, not requiring anything like a basic understanding of respect for neighbors (no cars left running, no loud noises at night, no barking dogs at midnight).

Building a 1200 sq ft, 3/2 house in CA is easily $150,000, then add in the land, permit and utility costs, and you are right at $200,000.Therefore, I am still buying at $50,000 and renting them for $800 a month, and making money.

People really aren't offended as easily as we think, you aren't making fun of their kids or something this is business.

The concerns you mentioned are easily addressed.

During due diligence on a park we can easily ask a thousand+ questions and research for months before moving forward or rejecting.

Obama is too much about compromise; he's working too hard to keep those on both sides of the aisle happy and doesn't recognize this is an impossible task; ultimately, he is just causing gridlock and wasted time, effort and money.Here's the problem I have (and I'd bet a lot of other people also have) -- I tend to be a lot more fiscally conservative than the current base of Democrats and a lot more socially liberal than the current base of Republicans, so people like me need to make a hard decision -- vote for the party that seems to not mind a growing deficit/debt (despite what they say) and is doing what I support socially, or vote for the party that seems to want to control the growing deficit/debt (despite what they actually vote for) and is clearly against what I support socially.It wouldn't be too hard for either side to sway people of my situation...here's all either party would need to do to sway enough moderate voters to easily win the White House:If the current crop of Bible-thumping Republicans would check their Conservative Cheat Sheets and remember that being Conservative means less government intervention in our lives, not creating more laws to force a single religion's morality on the country, I think a lot of people like me would be able to put the social issues on the back-burner long enough to at least listen to their fiscal plan and give them some consideration.And if the current crop of bleeding-heart Democrats would use their common sense to recognize that if you don't pass a budget for multiple years straight, fiscal responsibility probably isn't high on your To-Do List.

You can see very easily how the refund could be over 7-8k.Bridget D.That is another common fraudulent situation that can make things even harder on an honest tax preparer.

Also, CASHIERS CHECKS, credit cards can easily be put into chargebacks.Also, with high value properties, it is prudent to be patient.
