That was a hard sell for me but I realize that I was making too many justifications for poor spending habits. 

And if you happen to screen poorly and install unfit tenants, that commute will continue to disrupt your life and your kids' lives.  

I see unexplainable debts (possible amounts owed to prior landlords) and late utilities as bad, but the rest is just the poor personal fiannce habits or life circumstances that make applicants renters rather than owners.- Having roots in the community, normally having lived in that neighborhood for several years, or in this case being close to her parents adds screening points.

Too many times I've seen poor rehab designs cause flip properties to sit on the market well past 100 days only to be sold at a discount (loss for the investor).Don't be fooled into thinking design is easy and anyone can do it!

In addition to that, one individual might be perfectly situated for one strategy, like flipping, while another is better positioned for something else, and both will find success doing very different things.

Hey, I was wondering if any landlord has had experiences renting to T.R.A approved individuals?

Once you start opening stuff up you have no choice, we hate getting locked into full gut jobs but when the condition is so poor your hands are tied.

My further research indicated that any deficit in return on original loan amount is considered a "non-business bad debt" treated as short-term capital loss, but foregone interest is excluded (because individuals operate on a cash basis). 

Our thought is to create a separate entity that our current cannabis company will own a part of, give some equity to the right partner and then either have investors invest directly in that entity so that they have some ownership in every property we acquire or they can choose to invest in individual properties with our company. 

One thing to note when looking at the individual markets, you can make or loose money in any market.
