Personally there is nothing I enjoy more than taking over a property from poor management and letting the tenants know there's a new sheriff in town...they either tow the line or pack their bags. 

In the GFC everyone knows F&F was bailed out because it was holding the bag on so many mortgages that defaulted. 

You could if you wanted to offer to supply the tools(rake and shovel and some bags) for your new tenant to clean it themselves if it is important to them.My grandfather used to say" don't grow thirsty trees", meaning, set the standard early or they will expect you to provide this as an ongoing thing.....

When I interviewed as a programmer at a mill after college my step-grandmother warned me off about the old man that was interviewing me; he had a "reputation"; The "me too" movement, I think shocked the many decent men who had no idea that there is such a sizeable minority of predatory scum bags that women deal with on a regular basis.

If your goals as an investor is walking away with a bag of quarters, focus on "cheap" (i.e. stagnant and/or shrinking) housing markets.   

You will find a total mixed bag here.

They will at some point and you don't want to get caught holding the bag.

We still get the odd theft from time to time but it's easy keeping a finger on the pulse when we only do 3-4 rehabs per month or so.Just had one recently but couldn't tell you when it happened prior to that.It's just the nature of the beast and could happen anywhere.At least we don't get car windows smashed by junkies and bags stolen from cars in broad daylight like in San Fran haha

I believe in the long term success of the US economy more so than a specific company and it's bonds.Active investor for now and I predict the 30yr will come down quite a bit.But with a big enough bag, I'd take the 5% all day and go to sleep so to speak hehe
