I was doing a house inspection and heard a noise.

How are you folks prioritizing location (walk-a-bility) vs noise vs crime vs schools vs drive time to city centers?

Roaches, noise, smoking, drama, small children, etc.

It doesn't mean no noise, no neighbors - but it does mean the tenant is allowed to live in the property rented from you "peacefully." 

St, Mary's strip you will likely have parking issues, noise issues, and late night meanderers. 

They are elderly, healthy, retired, live very comfortably, make minimal to no noise at all, very clean and they pay on time all the time.

Any suggestions for getting traction and parsing the signal to noise ratio?

Don't buy all the hype about OPM and HML's and all that noise.

Naturally they can steal them if they want however if someone enters the property the frigging noise is so loud that its hard to remain in the building.

I have north of 10 LLC's personally for all sorts of various activities.. and do probably 250 plus transactions a year.. in the last 10 years I have one actual lawsuit and that was over a contract dispute that has gotten settled.. lots of sabor rattling.. but end of the day  you really have to be stubborn to make it all the way in front of a trier of fact.And in our market were small claims in 7500 .. you can cover most things there is you really want to sue the b$$st$ard for a 3k wrong doing.. like we see folks post about on BP.Other wise I do believe proper insurance is important..
