Rates have been artificially low for a long time and should keep going up.

I also chose to install artificial turf as opposed to grass that's only green it the winter. 

Convicts frequently have a good understanding of laws, an advantage that people tend to underestimate their intelligence, and knowledge of how the criminal justice system works.

You are an intelligent young man - keep it fun, keep it interesting.Books are informative because they regurgitate information you NEED to know - some books are great because the stories teach you, reveal to you accountability, responsibility, and a lesson wrapped up in font you can take in and put yourself there.

However, I would focus on reading as much information as possible to have intelligent conversations with the team you'll need to build.

I realized a lump-sum profit on a tax-lien property I sold this year and am extremely interested in hearing any intelligence on it. 

Even with the rent thing out of the picture I’m still currently looking for an intelligent individual to learn from.

Seems like an artificial way to make a market and create money. 

You are correct though in your understanding that you have to go about it in a careful and intelligent manner.

Study the market and when you have done enough study, and have some intelligent questions to ask, come back and ask them.
