Some wiggle room for medical bills.  

There is a large hospital in the area & I hope to rent to medical residents. 

I do look for judgments and evictions of course, however I don't look at school loans or medical bills.You are correct, you NEVER know how a tenant is going to be until they move in.

Would it be alright to ask tenants to either smoke recreationally only in the back yard unless they are using a vaporizer [or have a medical problem that would make going outside to medicate difficult]?

Same way you don't necessarily mind bankruptcy as a result of healthcare/medical expenses.

Hello everyone,My name is Chris and I am a new investor currently in Livermore, California and work in the medical field.

Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.Working in the medical profession you are sitting on all the $ you will need.Good LuckPaul

It would be a great Home/Office for a medical practice, where do folks look?
