Anytime someone starts talking a lot, or obviously researching stuff, screams red flags... you probably know the entire situation is a red flag and just wanted confirmation.. so yes, it's a red flag-- yes, you should just serve the notice of non-renewal.   

I prefer getting there 20 minutes early to set the thermostat to a comfortable temp, turn all the lights on, pick up any trash in the yard, sweep the front step, kill the spider on the counter, fix the running toilet, take care of any strange odors, ask the neighbor to stop smoking weed/shut their dogs/kids up/ stop screaming at each other, etc. 

I know some will scream that insurance will cover you, but not always...They can deny your claim and taking them to court over it may add to your problems if you lose and have legal expenses now to boot.

Maybe a screaming deal would be $75k and anything over $95k is a waste of time, and then go from there.

If you don't have much money or experience, it better be a screaming deal.

That just screams  "audit me"

I feel like good, unique design is one thing we have to set ourselves apart of the typical flippers/rehabbers in our area — if I see one more cookie-cutter rehabbed home I might scream!

The legal way to do it would be to trick those condos out like nobody's business, write ad copy screaming "MUST-SEE ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME-OPPORTUNITY LA-DOLCE-VITA-CAN-BE-YOURS FOR ONLY $275,000!!!"

After she threatened and screamed at my cleaners I threatened to call the cops, jack the rent, and do all could to make them miserable.

@Natalie HahnI think you've kinda missed the boat for the Bay Area to be honest... people are moving OUT of the Bay Area into the Central Valley (Stockton) and Sacramento.Sacramento is #7 in the nation for Rent Growth in the country:https://www.bizjournals.com/sacramento/news/2019/01/10/sacramento-is-7th-on-list-of-top-rent-growth.htmlMakes sense, as everyone coming from the Bay Area is used to paying WAY more for housing, so everything in the central valley looks like a screaming deal.
