I have tenants with no hobbies except smoking and drinking, but they pay their rent every month.

Even the American Assn of Private Lenders (the organization that Don Konipol and I belong to) is going to cost you a couple grand to go to their events, considering air fare, the conference fees, hotel, transportation, etc, so there goes 20% of your capital.5.

Some belonged in a mental hospital but the reason they were in the PHA apts was due to funding cuts and closing a mental hospital!

It won't be long before you can work because you want to, not because you have to.

The removed the charge and put it on the seller's side where it belonged.

I'm curious if any other landlords have encountered anything like this.Basically, in the new ordinance, if my tenant gets arrested for pot smoking or one of their kids gets cited for underage drinking, I can't be a landlord in town for 3 years?

Everywhere could be in reach and home could shortly be longer term.

And because we have politicians promoting ideas not for the betterment of the folks but simply saying what they want to hear in order to obtain their votes- the followers drinking the kool-aid will believe what they want to believe.

I even take into consideration if they smoke, drink, frequent dance clubs, and when they get paid.

I also look at it as a retirement supplement.Exit strategy is also a biggy...so much easier to sell a SFH.I love seeing a family move a TON of belongings into the house...No way they are in a hurry to move all that stuff anytime soon.I have not ruled out duplexes...still doing some research into the idea.
