I am concerned that this could happen to others, and I feel an obligation to inform you of these actions in case you or anyone you know may be at risk.

@Nicholas CavatoI am a little concerned with some responses here. 

It really is a dangerous business.   

Our minimum loan amount is 50k and we have a look back period of 10 years are far as experience is concerned.

Since I'm the sole member of the LLC is there anything I need to be concerned about or consequences if I make a mistake? 

However, one concern with newbies is attempting to self-manage in high crime areas.

That is a concern I share, giving up the low interest rate and some cash flow on the LTR’s.

My long term tenant (a family friend) is moving out and I am concerned how to make sure I pre-screen future tenants effectively without violating any laws. background: this property used to be my primary home and had a very informal agreement with a family friend to rent from me in the mean time.

You will be judged for having rented to a offender and will be viewed as placing others in danger. 

Open to La Mesa and West Chula Vista, although I have concerns that they will be tougher to appeal to MTR.
