The results should alarm every Realtor, HOA Board, and legislator who cares about consumer protections, transparency and full disclosure, and deceitful business practices. 

The downside is that it is VERY time consuming.

I want to give the chance to my children to have something more than just my leftovers of my retirement account (401K) that I will ultimately consume at retirement age, just in case something happen to us (me and wife).  

If you have outstanding consumer debt (engagement ring) and don't have enough cash to put down 3.5% on the property then you would be playing with some very tight margins with no room to account for unexpected expenditures early on such as an HVAC breakdown, unexpected eviction (if you buy a property with tenants in place) etc. 

Start in the "Education" section and read, watch, consume everything you can!

As @Aaron Gordy says it's tedious, time-consuming, nerve-wracking, it could kill your budget, etc. - especially the 1st few times you do it.  

Read lots of real estate and personal finance books, save up money and don’t get into consumer debt.

I'm with everyone else in the thread - unlike cigarettes, which leave a lingering odor, or hookah, which likely lead to nasty burn marks, pot smell leaves with the pot and it is usually consumed in a way that could only burn furniture. 

The reason the number is so specific is that the original max was $30 but then it can be upcharged based on CPI (consumer price index).Some landlords prefer to charge the application fee upfront in order to deter non-serious renters and then run the reports without tenant involvement to keep one less cook in the kitchen during the screening process.If you have questions feel free to send me an email.

What sets property investing apart is its potential to generate a substantial reward from a fairly modest risk.
