Can one find loop-holes to argue against, sure, but at what cost?

I didn't like it and kicked a hole in the wall.  

A guarantor or a Co-signor either one is a loop hole for a tenant to leave on less than desirable terms and pass their responsibilities to another, which may or may not hurt a case in small claims.

First of all, congrats on working your way back out of a hole - it's not easy to do. 

Add value to people for them (and it will come back to you in spades, both in monetary and non-monetary terms).

I have an elderly customer that wants to repair a decent-sized hole in her ceiling.

Thank you for helping poke holes in this, as this is my first deal ever!

With it raining all the time the ground gets soaked and has no break to dry out so the water has no where else to go, so it just finds holes that are open for water to travel to. 

This time the government will not be able to float the note for homeowners who are upside down.I have $350K burning a hole in my pocket to purchase a new house in Palm Coast Florida.

That being said, if home prices are going down, so to, would potential real estate investments which gives me more options.All in all,Option 1 is a first step into real estate investing and seemingly the path of least resistance with regard to starting to invest, but is the smaller return and lack of monetary protection worth the risk?
