Does being pot-friendly give a landlord a better return, or better tenants, or some other benefit?

I went through an online program based out of Florida, Cooke Real Estate School, because they were cheap and I could blow through the material at my own pace. 

Dustin Cook I agree.

When folks get too old to care for the home, they can't care for a home that is rented either, it's the housekeeping and cooking that's the issue, not so much about painting the trim outside.

let the Vietnamese cook you up a big mess of beignets at cafe du Monde!  

My mother didn't have a pot to piss in, why would I file a probate?

Long story short...they were cooking the books. 

Of course, the funds are still locked up until age 59 1/2, but in exchange for the extra amount you can build into that savings pot through the benefits of tax deferral, it can be well worth it.Ultimately, every investor should do both - save in a tax-sheltered retirement plan and invest in real estate with after-tax dollars.  

Basically, it's sh*t or get off the pot time for me.

Sure, but that happened to coincide with the dot com bubble bursting as well as corporate cooking of the books.
