It's amazing how quickly they find the money to not lose their lease since our properties are typically a little less than market priced and we treat our tenants right. 

We treat them with respect, care for the property, and we respond quickly to a maintenance request.

Let's share some brag stories about how you've treated your tenants like gold.

Just make sure you have a good line of communication with the residents(just don't treat them like a friend).

I'm currently employed as a project manager with one of the nations largest general contractors, have been for 5 years, and it's treated me well both educationally and financially.

@Vilena G.Don’t forget for tax purposes, the profits ona flip is active income, so it’s treated as ordinary wages.

Well, the contractor was simply doing what was required for you.....even though he should have made it clear the tree roots might be damaged or at least he/you have the roots trimmed/treated professionally 

If you're talking about people living in the same home as you (not a duplex), then you have to treat it like having roommates.

I'd treat it similarly to if the house backed a really busy street or large overhead powerlines. 

So I don't treat auctions as a reliable source of deals.
