It was her digging that found me the financing, her encouragement to not give up on the trying to purchase this property.

You could always dig up that part of the lat with a shovel and see if it's crushed.Clint

I would want to be on site as they are digging.

Seller thinks it's zoned R4 but I'll have to dig further.   

It was fishy from the start but as long as I'm not giving up any harmful info I always try to take the time to dig into things and get more info.

Digging into these situations and networking with large operators in the are are all must.

Whoever is giving you legal advice is only helping you dig a hole for yourself.

Maybe, the question is who carries the insurance and just dig to find out.  

As stated, Id rather have 1 tenant than 3.....BUT when things don't sound right, it makes sense to dig a little deeper to feel more comfortable.I would make sure my lease is VERY clear that only 1 person is on the lease and that's ALL that is authorized to live there ...PERIOD.

However I’ve always hated the idea of HOAs and feeling like I’m essentially renting my property, so I started digging into all the HOA docs (as of course any investor should), and fell down the rabbit hole of the HOA website.
