I should have explained my question better - my dilemma was more about how much rent to charge the tenant.

I personally focus just outside of the hyped up HOT areas; I'm in it for the long run and can make money without chasing the shinny object/area of the minute.

But I think they explain it better than I can.

While we are with them we ask about their employment and if they receive any other funds and explain in detail our expectations.

I trust you explained you do not allow tenants to make modifications of any kind to the rental unit without the explicit written authorization of the landlord.
