Should the homeowners be made aware that threats exist, so they don't come to meetings, or at least know the potential/expected danger if they do?

Yes, investing in foreclosures, more specifically buying at the foreclosure sale (also called a trustees sale, a sheriffs’ sale, or auction) is the most dangerous way to buy a property...

Without the wife on the team, life becomes very difficult and potentially dangerous.

At this crucial point you are approaching the danger zone, because the doctor will request what seems to be innocent-enough contact information from you so he can put you in touch with his financier (like your full name, street address, and business and/or home phone number).As the doctor's move-in date approaches, you will be advised that the family is having furniture delivered (which is right at about the same time your check is scheduled to arrive).

This will cause long-term interest rates to rise taking mortgage rates with it.The Fed has to play a very dangerous game with interest rates.

The more important reason to have your investment property in an LLC is that the LLC protects your personal assets from danger in the event an accident occurs at the property.

Knowledge is a powerful (and dangerous) thing!

If it is in yours then likely it is in theirs as well.If it doesn't say in yours then likely it's not in theirs.I can't give legal advice but rather than suffer in silence I would call the landlord and explain you have sensitive lungs and cannot be inhaling in second hand smoke.Second hand smoke is actually MORE DANGEROUS than first hand smoke.The reason is the person smoking the cigarette has a filter before inhaling in and the second hand smoker breathes all the smoke in without a filter.Today's cigarettes are pumped full of chemicals because it is cheaper to make and the burn is faster.The faster the burn the more people will smoke and buy that next pack with a huge mark up.Back in the day smoking was almost all pure tobacco but it is so expensive they use chemicals and very little tobacco today.So in short don't put up with it.

Especially for anyone who is doing dangerous work (on ladders, electrical, roofing, etc).Just my personal opinion, of course...

However, and this is really for the newbies out there, your margins were dangerously thin.The rule of thumb, and this is for your protection, is to buy at no more than 65% of the ARV minus the repairs.
