Hopefully any regulations that get passed will be logical and not overly heavy handed (not holding my breath, but here's hoping).

Dear Geri, Very, very sorry to hear about this investment gone bad.

The plan for me is to breathe new life into old structures and develop useful supporting infrastructure to enhance the main focus of the repurposed campus.Anybody working in the Milwaukee area that might be interested in partnering or at least connecting with Stormi Jellison (Stormi Maya), please reach out to her.

It sounds complicated but it's not as bad as it seems. 

Wow, take a breath, based on what you wrote here you've earned it. 

"I actually think renting a place will get me started"If you are talking about being a tenant yourself and operating a airbnb in your rental apartment don't hold your breath.

I used to think all realtors were more or less the same as well :)Of course there's good and bad and shades in between.  

Yes its a very bad idea.

Quote from @Rafael Valdor: I hear horror stories about renters all the time, but that doesn't mean all renters are bad.

Quote from @James Hampton: That's a bad practice to follow.If an occupant is not named on the lease, you may have difficulty enforcing rules or evicting them.
