Once I read that coupled with hiring a local mentor really got off the bench and got my first deal.

No one person can do it all- If you find a handyman that is good at hanging up blinds- don't ask them to fix a sink or fix a dishwasher- have a deep bench of people who are highly skilled at certain areas. 

Quicker equity growth than somewhere without the rail such as Mililani or Wahiawa, but I do not foresee, like some envision, a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow.What do you guys think?

And rocks look low maintenance, too, if the weed barrier works well.And for some "wow" factor, I might borrow the neighbor's idea with some large pots (easy to manage, portable, removable, fairly low cost) and gets some advice on some colorful perennials or annuals to add strategically around the property.

No smell of pot, loud music, barking dogs, throwing garbage in the wrong can, parking in the wrong spot, etc.

Maybe you could consider offering them a solution such as a covered area outside with butt can's and a place to sit like a bench and they will be more likely to not smoke in the home even when the weather is not so great.But either way stick to your guns on no smoking inside and if they continue to do so, give em the boot. 

The life style and weather is very good here and Atlanta is becoming the melting pot of all cultures like LA, SF, and NY.

Your going to have $h(7 or get off the pot .

Our liability is no different than when we supply electricity (tenant could grow a couple of pot plants) or lodging (in theory, tenant could offer an escort service).We do make it clear in our lease that all connections to each unit's network are logged and that we would cooperate with authorities if required to so do.The electricity company won't ban you from going over "quota."

Investor Bro says he's listened to all of the BP podcasts, but that meant all of the ones this week and even then he did it at the gym and was busy talking the whole time near the bench before maxing out on one set.Things Investor Bro doesn't do is exactly what you hit on.
