Please have the background check, credit check and check his employment to make sure how stable his job is.By then, you will get the full picture and let those guys know upfront that you are planning on inspecting the property for pot smell every month or quarter - if they are still doing drugs they may not lease and if they they lease after your warning about monthly inspections, 99% of the times they must be clean.This is what I would do if I am in this situation and not sure if this is best solution or not though!!!

But e/Offer a solution to their problem.

We'd like to help them and do a deal but I can't think of how it can happen with the way the numbers are....unless there is a solution we don't know about because we are so new to investing.

When it's time to sell, doing the rehab/cleanup, etc.. is a pain when you are depending on some third party to do it, and monitor the work.#2  Passive vs. active.  

Everyone will want a piece of your pie and because it's a "new" industry, there are all kinds of "solutions" that a lot of people will "save you money" or "make you more money".   

I'm tired of chasing a "9 to 5" job and I no longer want to make excuses, but to come up with creative solutions.

You may be able to develop a solution based on some similar situations others have been in.Best of luck.
