Just like in gambling, you can win, eventually though you will lose if you don’t walk away. We have had good and we have had bad. One tenant we have blacklisted caused too much damage to the home. Broken floor tiles, a rug we had to replace a drywaller and painter were needed. The good have created lasting memories, the bad, scars physically for years to come.
