You're being downvoted because "You also don’t have to be gentle with the tenants stuff." has a tone that implies you are particularly spiteful or disdainful of people who are essentially the least powerful in society. It suggests a level of cruelty beyond a transactional business relationship.

I disagree, I read it as “it is not necessary to ensure that property remains unscathed from the eviction process, thus an untrained crew removing someone’s possessions from their former home is a reasonable/sensible idea”

I haven’t been a landlord in over decade and I only had to do one eviction. Again I am stating facts. You don’t have to be gentle. These are the facts. I didn’t say you shouldn’t be.

After that one eviction , the next time my rental properties became empty, I started getting rid of the properties. They weren’t worth the trouble.

Facts aren’t always nice. That doesn’t mean they aren’t facts.

Money is never “personal” to me. Once the real estate crash happened and my tenants started leaving, I did strategic defaults. I actually let one tenant stay at one of my properties for months without paying rent. I knew I was going to walk away from the underwater property anyway. I told them they could stay until the bank kicks them out. I told them I was going to let it go in foreclosure. They were fine with it. They had a place to stay for months, saved money and left before the bank evicted them. No eviction on their record.

Edit: it seems to be endemic to this post, anyone care to reply why I am incorrect or why they disagree?
