Seeing as there is no character limit to the post, let's start with some relevant and less relevant background!

It builds character AND cash flow ;)Everyone has a different spectrum of real estate, only do what you feel comfortable.

The house has "character".  

I know a drug dealer when I see one and I am a pretty good judge of character of the people I am dealing with.

There are a lot of shady characters out there. 

The persistent character in each story is Arkad, the richest man in Babylon, who is often the teller of the stories, describing how he earned that title and drawing attention to relatable truths.I would suggest studying, from this book, the iconic 5 Laws of Gold: I.

@Bruce RunnIt would go against my character to joke around about such a thing.  

Way more than are allowed by this character-limit...but it was a rollercoaster for sure, and no shortage of good stories, especially for a first deal!

West of 65, south of 64 is a mix of rough characters that slowly blends more towards rural(ish) working class as you get farther southwest. 

When somebody wants to run a deal with zero of their own money into it, they are exposed to no risk, meaning you are taking the risk for them, and you're depending hugely on their character.
