@Troy FisherNo harm, no foul...BTW: If you want Rob Ford, I hear he's looking for a new gig ;-)

Done right, a grow op can be done with a small environmental footprint, but as @John D. points out, there are structural limitations to the house that might not allow best practices, in which case a lot of harm can be done.  

@Andrew S. thanks, I guess I am still those that are afraid of them, but really don't know if they do harm.

No harm in this, so long as they are made aware when signing up.I do like to see that you would do local homework, verse some of the other mentors who it seem try and use general info, and apply it to specific markets.

If an occasional scofflaw get by and the tenants don't complain, what is the harm?  

No real harm in it occurring now, from "damages" aspect.

Meeting for lunch and picking up the tab was no harm.  

He has been harassing me obsessively and threatening physical harm.

hi pilar. seeking out too many banks can be a problem for your credit rating. if you just go into a bank and bring along a copy of your credit report from any of the big 3, and ask about loans, it would be no harm to your credit rating. but if the bank does a hard credit inquiry, too many hard credit inquiries will hurt your credit score. part of the formula they use to establish your credit score does include how many inquiries you have on your credit report. the more people or banks that look into your credit report, the more hard inquiries you will have on that report and the lower your score would be. go to www.annualcreditreport.com and get a copy of the report from all 3 credit bueraus. you can even get your credit score from them but that part will cost money. take these reports into as many banks as possible and talk to them. that way the bank gets to see your credit report in full without actually going into it themselves and lowering your credit score. 

I would think it would harm your business.
