Well, if you ask me, it's because humans are extremely short sighted.

Everyone is human and we all come with our imperfections.My words of caution were only to alert an out of area investor to what I've heard of the potential underlying neighborhood dynamics.

@Austin Deardorff, TIC products, syndicated by broker/dealers under SEC law do qualify for tax deferred treatment under a 1031 exchange.  

It's better to have a place vacant than to rent to human sludge that will tear your place up and not pay rent while you struggle to get them evicted.Around here, we are just digging in and getting through it.

Because this is different from building materials in that the HVAC contractor is going to be an authorized dealer for that equipment and not simply a 3rd party going to a materials supplier for merchandise.

Don drug addicts even with the best intentions if they stay around the same people will fall back into old habits.So even if your son is clean today it's only a matter of time before he gives in again.He has to change his whole environment and even move to another state if need be to get away from dealers and so called friends.Your son will never be cured and it is a life long addiction.All he can do is live day to day and set himself up for success as much as possible to prevent a relapse or the frequency of relapse.Being a parent has to be defined and I am sure currently the drugs take center stage.Even though someone is in their 20's,30's40's physically that does not mean mentally they have the capacity or growth for that age.

If someone can't do simple arithmetic, in the words of Robert Heinlein:Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human.

Almost anything that a human can do, a computer can do better and MUCH faster.

No pet damage ever (human damage yes).I make a good bit of extra money from pet fees.

A mentor is your talking, thinking, human resource.
