Plus, for all the labor intensive work- Roofing, Demo, Flooring, Scrubbing smoke off walls, building a deck, I am helping and not getting paid 1 cent nor did I get paid 1 cent for the countless hours I've had until this closing.

@Jay Hinrichs is too smart not to see through my smoke and mirrors of self-encumbrance. 

Smoke, urine, torn up everything.

Had a ring of marijuana smoking bicycle thieves break into one of my houses and set up shop in the living room. 

Best bet is to not keep them in the dark until the last minute in case your unit is not ready in time.

It includes provisions like:One person per room.One car per tenant.Very limited overnight visitors.No partying whatsoever.No smoking or drugs whatsoever.No pets.

I don't get many votes due to my focus on risk, and the newbies don't want to hear about the dark side!

DFW smokes most markets when you take total returns into consideration.If you are not cash strapped or don't have liquidity problems, I would suggest starting off in/around DFW and moving out from there.

The contract states no smoking on premise.Full story:I recently purchased my first home and decided to rent out 2 of the rooms to 2 different individuals. 

There were cats, not sure how many, and you could smell them along with a strong smoke smell.
