One 3br unit is a multi-generational latino family w/ 4 working adults that moved to get more space and pay less than they were in San Francisco.

Drug paraphernalia, sexual paraphernalia, clothes, food, feces, etc... are fairly common.

It wasn't until my young adult daughter got her first apartment, that my eyes were opened to multifamily. 

@Clayton Cook you are living many a boyhood dream (mine included) playing ball as an adult at your level.

Rent for a 3 bedroom house was "locked into" $675 by the Housing Authority until the final year when we managed to get it increased to $700.Biggest problem involved their adult daughters whom, it appeared, produced children like a PEZ dispenser with every man they dated and dropped the children off for mom and dad to raise. 

Moving in an adult without permission is a big deal, but it doesn't necessarily mean they are a liar or untrustworthy.  

Beginning in high school, I became obsessed with figuring out what I was going to do to be successful, and this has become more apparent now since I'm an adult in college.

Her backyard is a child's paradise, but two separate showings have had the kids ON the pool deck with zero adults anywhere near.

This is complicated.Next time you rent to a single adult, designate in the agreement who can make decisions on their behalf if they become unavailable.

My name is David, and I've had an interest in real estate investing for most of my adult life.
