We also require renters insurance from our tenants which adds another layer of $100K liability for certain tenant caused damages such as they start a fire.   

But neighborhoods can change quite quickly from one block to the next, and these aren't quite close enough for me to feel confident that they're truly comparable.One thing that jumped out at me while I was looking at the above county records is that it's officially recorded as a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom, NOT a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom (like the Realtor.com listing says it is). 

If I understand it correctly it is primarily to bring the property up to date and to repair damaged parts of the home.

If you guessed it was a vinyl plank duct taped to the duct work blocking any heat, then you would be right!! 

The surge also damaged a component in the furnace.The landlord when asked to replace the damaged items, said to call Oncor that Oncor would pay.Tenant called Oncor, spoke to the District Manager.

Most places I see that happen in other states is when old dilapidated housing is torn down or completely remodeled block by block.

@Josh RodriguezThoughts: Rents used are too low, value used is too low, and if you can get a 1400 SF in Tampa for $80,000 block construction then I'd be curious to learn the rest of the details right away.Where are your comparable rentals from?  

We have since had him banned/blocked from that FB group so that he no longer preys on people within that group at least.

For example, if you provide free laundry, prepare for your tenant to do some laundry parties or start a laundry business out of the house.Property managers may also not have the best treatment of the property since they understand the property would be in a lower value area, so I'd prepare for some excuses such as damage/poor screening not being their fault because the tenant pool is not good enough.That being said, you can still make a lot of money in lower value areas.

Taking away ground will make a device more sensitive to damage from ESD (shocks, power surges, lightening).
