We like helping seniors or mentally disabled people in group homes.

Most tenants don’t have the mental capacity to understand how those doors function so it’s best to just rip them off the hinges yourself before they do

You may still get a high volume of responses from people swimming over their head or mentally ill, but at least you can move on from them and identify the good ones by using your "delete" key.Good luck!

It sounds like they are getting a few more complaints from neighborhood associations, so will this Wild West mentality come to an end?

Has anyone ever done section 811 tenants (mentally challenged) wondering how to get your rental on front of the governing agencies?

(I say this as a lawyer who deals with litigation day in and day out)  It's clear that both of your hackles are up and this slugging it out over $1500 bucks seems like a waste of time and mental energy for everyone. 

Just trying to get a mental picture of how close we are to the limits and what the tax ramifications are once you go over that specific limit you speak about. 

Also I have a keen eye towards land use beyond the typical:Put a building on it to mortgage and create a note/put in a tenant mentality.

I know it does not sound much better but trust me the added stress of having a problem tenant in your property and the mental strain is way worse then just having it sit vacant.

This will take a lot of sacrifice, or after a year you should be nearing 50k, which is probably enough for a down payment on a house in a college town.It sounds like you are mentally on a good path.
