An argument against the Louisville, Kentucky market....

A tragic lesson to be learned. Travel the appropriate channels for a defaulting tenant. Confrontation is never the right answer. Well wishes to his family. 

Do any BPers use confrontation with a defaulting tenant?

I must say that I am disgusted by the title of this thread.  This was a tragedy that occurred because at least one (and by some accounts two) person/people mishandled a situation and it escalated.  There are many things to be learned here.  Investors can and should take heed.  This could happen ANYWHERE.  There was no need for the landlord to be at that door.  It's not his fault that he got shot, but had the proper systems been in place, he would still be alive.  To stereotype a market and disregard these lessons is foolish and dangerous.  To do so on a site that advocates eductation, is irresponsible at best.
