@Steve Vaughan glad you liked my "jab". it took a few times then deleting what i wrote before I finally got it right :)i get your point and appreciate it as I do most posts. i am here to help others but also here to learn - that sounded a little Billy Madison for those that remember that movie. 

It is a societal problem and really drags down property values and rental marketability.My situation is similar--no movie style drive by's or gangster rap scenes, just lots  of traffic next door, walk ups, drive ups, all stay a few minutes.

Listen to this episode to find out how you can be part of a group just like that.Too many people SAY they’re investing in themselves but their time and priorities don’t show it.Television, movies, video games, hanging out in bars or nightclubs, wasting their time with mooching friends who are going noplace; those are the habits of losers, people who aren’t serious about moving their lives to the next level.

You can create a buzz about it by using a "coming soon" philosophy (just like they do in the movies).

You can get a decent 2 bedroom for $140,000 -$150,000For that $570K you are talking about, he could get a 3,500 square foot up-grade house on 5 acres with a 7 mountain view.He won't see as many movie stars on the slopes of Mt Bachelor (we do have some living here), but he will see the US Olympic ski team and the US Olympic snowboard team doing their training.

All offer high speed internet, pools, movie rooms. tanning beds, exercise facilities, etc etc etc to entice people to move in.I do not have to because I have location.

A few movie studios have confirmed on moving in.

Now, even though I'll still hide it, I _love_ letting tears roll after an emotion movie, or when you wake up on Saturday and realize what an amazing week it was.

Instead of watching movies at the theater wait until a Redbox release.5.

i dont see a need to do that. if the communication between landlord and tenant was there (seems like it was), i dont see the need.if you really want to, giving them a movie gift card is what we have done in the past (for other reasons)
