@Patrick Philip  As we have looked to grow to other parts of just Chicago it takes in house employees and third party vendors to be able to outsource the boots on the ground like @Scott Morris said.   

I have not had a tenant issue (sample size of two properties and I just purchased one so take it for what it's worth).More important than my opinion, my property manager on the ground is very conservative and green lights this neighborhood all day which is a good sign.

I personally have built and managed many projects from a couple thousand to $150M from ground up to full rehab.

I just want to cover my bases and make sure the tenant has no ground to stand on to sue me or counter sue me as I assume I will be taking them to small claims court to get back money owed, which I assume I'll never see.  

These are the ones with the "feet on the ground" so to speak. 

Some on the ground services.

At one sale, somebody, not to say the person losing the property, burned the property to the ground. 

I'm thinking maybe in ST.Pete or closer to Tampa would be better year-round, and the beaches for short term, but whats the middle ground place?

To help spin the plates, my father relocated to the area and helped to get a construction company off the ground.
