If they a good employee, or they seem like they are going to stay around and continue to work.Make sure to be looking at credit history and criminal history, Even if you know the person well, sometimes you never know what kind of collections they may have.

The reason is that "financial areas" are more serious concerns than real estate matters, there are more ways of getting burned with federal criminal actions in finance than real estate, not excluding real estate, but finance goes much deeper than the surface scratched by those posting social or political views and opinions. 

On a side note, if anything were to happen, my wife is a criminal defense attorney and would likely represent me at a considerable discount!

When they hit, it's not just civil fines but criminal. 

Concerning the advertising of investment activities, if your license isn't hanging with a brokerage then I would not consider it a violating offense by not having your license listed on any collateral material.

I have friends that are criminal defense lawyers as well..

The problem is that attorneys (no offense) dont make money setting up insurance policies, they make money painting a picture of the worst-case scenario possible and convincing new investors with virtually no assets to protect these non-existent assets with an LLC that costs thousands to set up and maintain when you factor in filing fees, legal fees, and accounting fees.

I graduated college with a BA in Criminal Justice, but realized that the career paths my degree provided me did not fill my want to genuinely help others (people and animals).  

@Jared Lichtin, no offense to Texas or any other state; beauty of real estate always a great place to by somewhere just got to find it By working hard and smart. 

if not you can go after another months rent, or you have, (my best choice) is send a certified letter to tenants stating you are NOT going to renew their lease when it ends April 30th 2015, if none of this has taken place, Get on it, send the letter tomorrow as Tenants have 30 days by law.The tenant DOES NOT control your insurance only you do, NO tenant can file a insurance claim, if your tenant was somehow able to file a fraud claim, that can be a police criminal case.Questions I would have are: Was there bad drywall on ceiling in order for it to fall?
