@Cole Starin What type of take out financing did you line up to payoff the private money and get into long term perm debt? 

Making the wrong hire, overlooking the risks, taking on too much debt.

I guarantee your life would be so much better if you removed her and replaced her with a good renter.Do yourself a favor: buy "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.

You can't legally deny a true service animal.

Buy the same amount(in regards to downpayment allocations) in debt notes.

While I doubt I'll be investing here (terrified that property taxes and the pension debt will ultimately cripple property values), I'm always interested in meeting new people.
