“2 or 3 of your tenants get laid off and decide to leave your properties.”
If you read the scenario I was speaking to, the tenants had already left. True: eviction would be a worse deal.
Solution might be to try not to rent to people from the same firm or industry and keep rentals somewhat geographically diverse. i.e. one in Pac Beach, one in Mira Mesa, one in O’Side, one in Mission Valley.
