I could be wrong though, I can see rapid steelers fans doing a lot of bookings.There is a developing area within walking distance of stadiums, casino and major hospital and museums, but half are rehabbed and half are rough.any insight would be helpful!  

One half of the tenants are paying 50% of the market rent and they have lived there for years.  

Even adding one roommate to your living situation is financially not much different than owning a duplex and living in one half. 

This is the 3rd one in a year and a half.  

Long story short, the "master tenant" or so I was told, withheld the name and contact of the landlord when I moved in (listing found through craigslist), no contract was ever signed but got a receipt for the deposit amount I paid (approx half of first month's rent).

I can weed through 50 responses down to 3-4 good ones pretty quick simply by trolling profiles in a half hour I’ll know who will be a good fit .

I'm thinking huge potential for liability allowing someone to run an unlicensed half-way house for troubled youth....and now that you know about it you have no way to deny knowing what was going on.  

Would you be okay with the landlord just taking the previous tenants word for it that they did a good job, or paying only $85 for a half-assed cleaning job?

Being a handyman, about half my business comes from yelp so people really trust what is said there.

We have a go-to electrician and have been through several heating and cooling companies- it is hard to find anyone who can work on boilers consistently, and half our properties have boilers.Our rentals are a 15 minute drive away, and it's an odd week if I am not driving by at least once.
