There is a big difference in how those are handled  HAHA I just saw a post and commented where the person wanted to ask if they should overpay for a home because they can get is seller financing.

I know i personally wont build anything with adjoining walls as the long term liability is to much risk for me.

I know my personal tax accountant isn't knowledgeable enough for property investment write-offs.

And does the person doing the labor get paid or only the materials paid for by the partnership?

Don't spend time looking for something that doesn't exist. also in the US you cannot sue the police.. unless its a direct assault on your person. your wasting your time.. 

As a neighbor, personally I don't care if someone smoke a little weed every now and then, but if they are smoking non stop 25 times a day, you might lose a good tenant over that. 

The lower barrier to entry would be excellent for my personally smaller net worth.

When you say "we," are you speaking about your business or your personal tax returns, or does your business flow into your personal returns because you file as a sole proprietor?  

Personally I never listen to what the seller states the income is as they are sometimes way off.

I was wondering if there are any recommend in-person meetups in the LA area.
