Saw a segment on Fox 5 this morning about how home evictions are rising in Georgia, especially Atlanta Metro area. They said it is because more and more homes are owned by landlords who don't live in Georgia! This is total BS! No body evicts people who pay the rent on time and keep the property up! As a former landlord I know this to be a fact. They make it sound like these evicted tenants had landlords who wouldn't "work With Them". More BS! Having been to Magistrate Court in two different counties I know what judges say " If you didn't pay the rent then you have seven days to vacate!" Glad I sold all my rentals last year, was a Landlord for 30 years, and it used to be you could get good tenants who would stay for years and take pride in the place they lived in. Now it seems like they are typical Democrats, want something for nothing and blame their problems on others. Rant Over!

All you evil conservatives expecting good people to pay for housing. Housing is a RIGHT! They deserve it just because they are here!
Guilty as charged!
My dad made a living with rental property. Guess who had to haul off the trash, refinish floors, repair holes in walls, clean and paint, repair plumbing,etc. You couldn't give me one.
Everyone thinks it's so easy to be a landlord, just rent it out and the money comes rolling in. Not so, it is one of the most difficult "home based" businesses you can get involved in, it's hard earned money. My dad tried it for a while, and hated it. My brother is working for a place that owns several hundred rentals in the Atlanta area, you should hear the stories. He has his own rental in FL, and has already been sued by one of his bottom feeding dwellers. Turned out the guy has a history of playing the law suit lottery, and the insurance company settled with him. The nice thing was, he owed my bro a whole bunch of back rent, and he was able to attach a lien to the settlement and got his cash.
There was a 3 or 4 month lull/moratorium in evictions due to a last minute EO 0bama made to slow them down. The lawyers made a few changes, and it is back to business as usual, tossing out the deadbeats.
This from a friend that works closely with banks doing foreclosures and evictions.

Here is a tip for those of you looking to invest in rental property. Own property close to military bases. Rent to military families. They are good renters. Their employer does not like bad behavior
Democrats buying what they can't afford, in a market designed to hook them and reel them in. I think we'll see a LOT more evictions if Trump starts whittling away at the gamers in the welfare system....
