" Are you proposing justifiable arson?"
Of course not! That would be advocating violence, and would get me banned from FR!
If it's justifiable, then it's not really violence...

If some "tenant" Starts cooking methamphetmine in your rental house, you may as well burn it down, because you will never be able to rent it out again unless you tear every wall out and re -insulate and drywall the entire place.
Those "how to be your own millionare" shows where they tell you the glory's of investing in rental properties never tell you the downside of the business. It can cause you to go find a second job to pay for all the repairs a couple bad tenants can cause. You are better off to fix and sell, but even then the law varies from state to state on how many homes you can 'flip' a year without getting a realestate brokers licience.
