You are essentially creating a curb to stop people from driving up to that area.

My lease...Tenant shall refrain from disposing of things such as diapers, baby wipes, sanitary napkins, tampons, paper towels, wads of toilet paper, newspaper, children’s toys, matches, Q-tips, balls of hair, grease, oil, table scraps, clothing, rags, sand, dirt, or rocks into drains or toilet.

It essentially rewards the tenant for their bad behavior and then ensures they are more likely to pull the same stunt with the next Landlord.If they violate the lease, hold them responsible.

I didn't have a system, didn't know what to look for, and was essentially guessing. 

Terms I got were a -10/5 Arm adjustable fixed for 10 years at 5.5%25 yr amortization30% down minimal closing costs, they did cheaper drive by 'evals' on all the properties instead of appraisals.They essentially encumbered the paid off property, and I have only 1 loan for the entire amount of new purchase..  

Essentially, if no new properties were listed, how long would it take to work off existing inventory. 6 months would be balanced.
