Some governments are crooked and anti student housing in the philly burbs. 

I feel for you... although I must admit there have been inhabitable homes we got @ tax lien auctions we wished went up in flames only so we could rebuild them.But your damages are far worse & are going to be a lot more time consuming than anything we have ever seen.

As @Karen Margrave stated zoning, environmental and regulatory issues make it difficult for the newbie.Some zoning is anti-development. 

Some municipalities are "anti" manufactured housing, so read the ordinance carefully before buying any land.  

The same level of disclosure in the Regulation S offering is required, of course, since you are still bound by the anti-fraud rules.

They think im like the anti christ.

That often causes their charges to be enhanced to felonies.You might also find that cultural norms are changing.While I am extremely anti-drug use, you might be surprised that the majority of people in many states thinks it is insane that someone would hold marijuana use against someone. 

I'm concerned about my existing holdings however, the anti-marijuana legislation imposed by Nevada, Yuba, and surrounding counties will crush the cash economies and significantly hurt my renter pool, as well as my ability to flip vacant land here.  

This anti-discrimination provision does not apply if renting to such a person would cause the lessor to lose a monetary or license-related benefit under federal law.

You do not want to have to pay for a house in flames out of pocket.5.
