Some other unforeseen problems you may have not considered: As a tenant, you're taking up the large yard I planned to use to play catch with my kids and let my large dog run and play with a garden that I have no intention of maintaining.

Banks aren't in the business of being schemers like this trying to find people sneaking around, they literally just want to collect on that mortgage they have with you.One thing to consider is how expense an LLC is in your state to maintain.

(c) If the person who sells or issues a stored value card in this state does not obtain the name and address of the apparent owner of the card and maintain a record of the owner's name and address and the identification number of the card, the address of the apparent owner is considered to be the Austin, Texas, address of the comptroller.

Luckily for me it's just far enough away not to steal any of the tenants I'll be advertising to in the future, lol.So maintain your motivation, stay the course, and achieve your dreams.

So after reading these comments above, and for the sake of maintaining my boundaries yet also the relationship, maybe I'll issue a written warning, explaining the $250 fine for a second offense.  

There are neighborhoods where I live where all the yards and professionally maintained, and others where every house is in bad shape.  

I can DIY something or I can hire someone else to do it and concentrate my efforts on finding the next project.
