@Jake Baker Love the approach of measuring the total offers that you send, if you know your strategy most of the time it is a numbers game no matter the condition of the market. 

He did not like the condition of the unit but he volunteers to find the rehab if I used his guy and paid him back in a year.

In Costa Rica, property condition is a constant variable, far more critical to maintain than the USA. 

I asked the GC as part of the conditional last $20k payment to transfer the title to me after his mortgage note default since I'd paid him $40k in good faith for work reportedly completed but needed rework.3.)

you can always call or email the tenant in regards to this matter. i personally smoke as well and just would want my tenants happy and not feeling accused as its a big problem with a lot of tenant v landlord situations around the country. you can always say you got a report of the odor of weed and was just verifying the smell with both tenants on the property. you can restate your conditions with smoking. you can always ask if they are legally able to do so as well (meaning medical card). depending on how you want to handle it, if you want to make it a legal warning to the tenant as well, you should write a written letter sent by mail stating you got a report of weed and this is a written warning in case this a problem down the road, you have evidence to show the court if it gets to that matter that this is not your first occurrence. best of luck!

Market Conditions: South Florida has a dynamic real estate market.

Have you had success working with tenants with credit issues under similar conditions?

I base my rents on the condition of the unit and the competition. 

You have a friend, He will rent it in its present condition as soon as you make it available to him for $90 per month. 

I’m back now and looking for some guidance on an idea that caught my attention.An old high school friend of mine has been buying older houses, either renovating or tearing them down and rebuilding, depending on their condition.
