You want to make sure your investment will be above board and avoid any prohibited transactions. 

If they pay late and only decide to pay the monthly rent, does the site have a way of prohibiting them from sending partial payments?

The date scratched in the lid was 1925, (during prohibition).

Thank you Landlord HA HA HAHA...Smoking of ANY kind is prohibited on my property, maam.

You guys can correct me if I’m wrong, but if the lease doesn’t prohibit dogs, it doesn’t matter if your insurance doesn’t cover dogs, that’s Your problem, and the tenant has no obligation to get rid of the dog.Of course, you might get away with it with some tenants but you can’t force them.

With self-directed IRA the sky is the limit.Of course you must be aware of the IRS prohibited transactions and be sure to stay away from those:https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-particip...Selecting appropriate investment option depends on many different factors such as your age and investment horizon, your risk tolerance, investment experience, etc.

We had an attorney review and they see no rules in Wisconsin prohibiting an increasing rent considering we are issuing an addendum to the original lease with the increase. 

The law allows courts to postpone for up to three months and sometimes longer at the judge's discretion, some evictions for nonpayment of rent.The law does not prohibit evictions, and the tenant is still responsible for the rent they owe, but the landlord is required to inform the court of the tenant’s active duty status. 

Typically it is the local building and zoning with a similar rule, repairs of more than 50% are not prohibited, But if the rebuild/renovation cost is more than 50% of the property value then the property must be brought to Current building codes, which may include the floor elevation being raised to current building requirements, which is usually not feasible, cost wise.

They've decided against taking on that risk and instead are passing that on to you, their client.As landlording is a business, many of us choose not to add an additional risk component by prohibiting breeds of dogs the insurance data shows as a risk.
