The tenant in the basement moved in two months ago and has been pretty problematic, including two prior noise complaints from the unit above him for blasting music until 1 am within the last month.

I am a hip hop music artist and producer.

If you get 3 complaints about ANYTHING, garbage can left out, music in the back yard, basically anything they SHUT you down forever and the 3 strikes goes on your house, not just you.

If I had the capital to invest in my backyard, I would find something in Indio near where the music festivals are.

Bookkeepers and accountants are not musical artists, artists, authors etc where you can trademark/copywrite your work - all you do is put numbers the business owner gives you in an organized fashion. 

@Collin H. has always preached the same thing from the beginning even when the bubble was inflating, he’s been around through other business cycles to see what happens in the smokies when the music stops.

As Claud Cockburn, a British Journalist, newly arrived in America observed, 'You could talk about Prohibition or Hemingway or air conditioning or music or horses, but in the end, you had to talk about the stock market.

Just as your first home purchase is seldom (exempting trust fund kids, star athletes, movie/music stars, etc.) your dream forever home, you first rental is seldom the luxurious beach front home in a great vacation market.  

Between sports, music, events, local government, shopping amenities, colleges, parks, science hubs, and it's great nightlife; Raleigh simply has it all.

Since we've lived here, they constantly have other kids over blaring rap music, smoking and drinking in their front yard and overall causing perpetual noise disturbance.I look at all of this through the lens of an entrepreneur who has to do what is right for his business.
