I have done several Habitat for Humanity builds there and handing out T giving food and it’s not an area I would want to have investments.  

Just playing devil's advocate and I'm a fan of living as close to work as humanly possible so you can bike/ walk. 

Then I want to move my stuff over to the inherited tenants side (as it’s the nicer unit).Unfortunately the inherited tenants have 4 larger dogs, a guinea pig, and two cats (one of which they adopted a week before closing).

Empathy and compassion make space for a clear, intuitive approach to identifying neighborhoods – where human people live – that are ripe for flipping fair.

It took them five months to figure out how to properly mail rent to me on time (they've encountered many late fees) and even to this day they pay on the last day humanly possible, but also they leave belongings outside in common space, they leave trash bags outside the trash cans and rodents get into it and tear it apart, they leave a bunch of random belongings and bikes in the foyer (on carpet) and they have filled the basement with what seems like trash.

The painting resembles a colorful and abstract view of the workings of human organs, yet it’s one unwanted addition to the mural that stands out the most."

When you're a human in your tenant's eyes, it's far harder for them to view you as "the man".We put down $60k on our first BRRR property in 97.

You can pay an attorney or collection agency to help collect, but that costs money and you still might get nothing (especially if the defendant is an LLC instead of a human).

It is human nature--when faced with no money for a roof over their head or a lie, many tenants will pick the lie.  

Try to meet in person most of the time because naturally humans put more trust into someone they physically see, body language and a lot easier to build rapport with.
