Thanks so much for creating this site! It has been refreshing to read your posts and realize there are others who are risky (or crazy) enough to be landlords. My husband and I took the big plunge into rental properties about a year ago. So far we only have two modest sized homes. One with amazing renters and the other with less than nice renters. Just had to remove most of his personal property this evening- had the cops over to disarm and dismantle a gun on the premises and confiscate drug paraphanelia. Luckily it is a nice home in a nice neighborhood and we have new renters moving in soon. We had done all the credit and background checks on this not so nice renter and they came back fine. After having the 6th or 7th call about the loud orgy parties that were taking place there- the police were kind enough to offer their services the next time we looked for a renter. Small town friendliness- now if only they would have sited him with a neighborhood disturbance we could have started the eviction process a few months ago and saved the neighbors a lot of headaches. Lets just see if he wants his brand new $4000 furniture set back. Not sure I want it after what was done on it.
