That's still illegal.Over time the "food industry" will eat its way up the "food chain" and take over the processed product categories one by one too, and for the same reasons.At a moments notice, if the federal government decides to play rough, all they have to do is pass some legislation (or just threaten) to revoke the charter of any bank that accepts money from any pot related bussiness. 

I just want to ensure I have all the guidance and best options laid out in front of me so I can begin this journey as a new investor in the Real Estate industry.

We have our loans fully serviced and sometimes I wonder if it's worth the extra money we pay since the servicer's loss mitgation efforts varied from extremely poor to average.

Hello All,I am totally new to this industry.

I told myself I was seeking to ease into the industry when I tried to start my own wholesaling gig last summer, when I was really just chasing money.Of course, I got burned out from trying to chase hundreds of leads per week because I was not truly passionate or aware of what I needed to do to reach success. 

I did some quick searches and it looks like the average should be around $300-350.

As you are a licensed agent I'm truly shocked at your level of confusion on how this industry works.

We ran rent on the lower end for $3,600 income (current tenant paying $1,200, average is $1,800) with expenses being about $2,400 (pulling out 8% each for vac/repair/capex/management as it's a large old building). 11.58% ROI, 12.67% cap rate, cash flowing $1,200/month if we rented all at the lower rents.

Lots to learn, just like any industry, terminology is a big learning curve!

I do agree with @Anthony R. that you need to be sure to include enough in your budget for repairs and also Capital Expenditures (new roof, furnace, etc) I think @Ben Leybovich did a study a while back and found the average home in American needed about $250 in repairs per month if you really figure in everything that will eventually wear out (the entire home accept the foundation and framing).
