They kicked in a door, had their kids draw all over the walls with Sharpies, left dirty diapers all over, the new carpet is saturated with urine, there are holes in the wall, and they obviously intentionally threw their trash all over the house and land.  

Or the intention has to be shown that that's what it was intended to be. 

I am not from Cleveland, I do not mean to insult the great City of Cleveland, I apologize if I have insulted you or hurt your feelings, it is not my intention.

ThanksWhat is your intention?

@Stephen Glover, do you intentionally not manage houses in Oak Grove because of crime or difficulties with tenants, or because you just haven't happened to have any clients in that area yet?

If a tenant of real estate shall give notice of his intention to quit the premises by him held at a time specified in such notice, and shall not deliver up the possession of such real estate at the time specified in the notice, such tenant, his executors or administrators, shall, from such time, pay to his landlord or lessor, his heirs or assigns, double the rent which he should otherwise have paid, to be levied, sued for and recovered at the same times and in the same manner as the single rent before the giving of such notice could be levied, sued for and recovered.

I'm not saying that is your intent.

The most common problem is not the feel good intentions of the owners, it is the lack of knowledge of proper dog training.It is easy to spot a scumbag-gangbanger-a-hole-criminal-felon with an aggressive dog(unfortunately, almost always a pitbull) but, the real problem will be when those good tenants with jobs, good credit and kind hearts, are so puzzled as to why their perfect little 70lbs sweet pitbull baby bit someone.Lastly, a question to the OP. 

I am looking to purchase a first home to live in but am approaching it with the intent of turning the property in to a rental property down the road. 

So much disrespect thrown out towards Chicago and specifically the South Side of the city, I hope the numbers will change a few minds.In the words of a local developer I highly respect Leon Walker "the difference between Gentrification and Venture Development is INTENT” http://www.dl3realty.com/venturedevelopmentIf you are not in the City, you may not know there is a tremendous resurgence happening on the South Side of Chicago.As a native of Brooklyn, if you would have told me my neighborhood as a child in the 80s (Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY) would have turned into Million Dollar homes a on every block I would have laughed at you.
