Next, and this is a shared ethos of many at similar/same level and activity, I have a personal belief and conviction of KARMA, I posses the knowledge and skills where I can be of assistance and with that feel a responsibility to use that, to give, that if I don't it's breach of some cosmic-contract with life which has entrusted me with all I have received and earned.

and "Conviction buy!"

I hope this helps add conviction to this strategy.

Find a police officer new boyfriend who parks his car in the driveway, or son of someone who is a Marshall, or bail bonds man car with the lights on it.What criminal convictions does the boyfriend or occupants have?

And on top of that, how the hell do sex offenders and convicted murderers find housing??

The argument is that the person was arrested but not convicted. 

Check out Honest Jobs, a website that has job openings with companies who will hire people with criminal convictions.

Meaning a tenant can SHOOT YOU DEAD if you attempt to steal their property and never be prosecuted (well, maybe prosecuted but unlikely to be convicted).Any landlord or property manager who tries to take a tenant's personal property for payment of rent or hold hostage a) is a bloody fool, b) too stupid to own/manage rental property, c) will likely be the reason the Texas legislature cracks down on that stupid law.Don't be that guy.

That said, for this case I would suggest a policy of accepting misdemeanors from 10+ years, no felony convictions, etc.I am a lawyer, but not your lawyer.

The thinking is...For the formerly incarcerated likely to have issues making payments, it'll be reflected in the other existing criteria.For the formerly incarcerated not likely to have issues, they will meet all the other existing criteria.Think about it. 2 convicted drug dealers.
