Unbelievable 

Unbelievable book man!

I fired them on the spot, and the drug addict harrassed me for 6 months. 

Full disclosure: STRs are addictive.  

I lost my sister to drug addiction and I have struggled for a decade, since i was in my teens.

But the program may have a really good success rate, good prescreening, job training and support, addiction counseling, etc. 

Of course the flip side is that it cuts into profits, so maybe instead of 42 houses, you need 50 to make it to $200K passive income.Personally, I see no reason to buy more than what you need to make your goals, but you find many investors get addicted to growing their business.

The appreciation in these areas so far had been unbelievable, at least for us, though I avoided investing at market tops.

weed mellows people out much better than tweaker drug addicts or getting drunk and destroying things.. 

That eliminated the cover for the drug addicts and homeless.
