I convey to them my expectations and grill them to find out details about there lives and personality.

I can just about guarantee our will get grilled by any experienced partner/mentor because they will already be asking those questions.You might find some examples here on BP as well

We often discuss some of the rules - for example you can't put your grill up to the vinyl siding; where would be a good spot to grill?

Everyone is a smoker and the entire house reeks of smoke (which is unpleasant but manageable).Issue with Section 8 lady isn't just the fact that she's late with the $50/month rent due but the fact she's making me feel uncomfortable as property manager/landlord.

We have a camping stove and grill to cook with.

When I asked if she could recommend him she made the following pointsThey're currently evicting him and he was evicted once before (nothing showed up in my Cozy background check btw)He lied about only having a dog for two weeks, and now they're going on 9 monthsThe dog poops all around the community groundsHe's a smoker and litters his buttsHe was fine up until about 6 months ago when he stopped paying rentHe won't let anyone in the apartment even for radiator workHe's lost a lot of weightetc..So I denied the application but the tenant replied back very cordially asking what the landlord said because he was curious how they could give a bad recommendation.

The adjacent building is a vacant retail store (which is also for sale), behind the building is older housing, mostly in the $30-40K range, and across the street are some retail, liquor store, and a bar and grill.

My first home had a smoker in it for 20 years.

When she moved out, I rehabbed the property including new primer and paint throughout (previous smoker lived here), tile throughout, and a whole house rewire.

We were able to fit one car in there, had bikes, a grill, two refrigerators, a riding lawnmower and so much more.The following video on youtube somewhat shows what I'm talking about:https://www.youtube.com/watch?
