Eviction nightmare is troublesome but it's nothing in comparison to a gas explosion that causes tenant injuries and even death.   

Another data point that will affect the job market is that 42% of employers are going to require a vaccination and this is going to cause a legal battle.

We had to fire a real estate agent because she was moving too slowly + lacked negotiation tenacity and it caused us to miss out on deals.Once under contract, you can also negotiate further depending on how inspections of the property come back and also appraisals.

No water, and you may have lines that were frozen and damaged.

The old wood turns hard as iron---if it is not termite damaged, then it can turn to sawdust!  

Is there enough in the deal to cause you to tolerate an eviction?

I could rent it out to a family like I've stated, rent it out to college students (assuming it is in the right area) with the requirement of a parent's co-sign for damages, or utilize it in an 1031 exchange strategy as a last resort.

A recent tenant did that and the moving truck arrived a day late and it caused tremendous hassle. 

Come to find out it was a false wall, so we punched a hole through it and in the center of the room was a coffin with a certain symbol carved in the top of it, I will leave out the symbol for sake of causing arguments. 

@Andrew B.I would save up for vacancies, damage to the property and court cost.
