Most people wouldn't represent themselves in a court case with a multi-hundred thousand dollar issue on the line, so why would you do it in real estate?

Lots of issues from the tenant, neighborhoods and crime rates.

I am not very learned on the issue, but want more information.  

Of course lease renewals are mandatory, so choose your tenants wisely.FWIW if you maintain a requirement for high credit rating the criminal report will never be an issue, right?

My plan is to get a property with minor cosmetic issues and fix these issues up and hold onto the property to establish a steady cash flow and hopefully some appreciation.

The city delayed us on the permit a little but we have started renovations and no issues with the contractor.

Medicaid issued AL allows for housing, insurance, guardian and attorney fees if any, and a PNA, and community spousal allocation if applicable.  

I feel like there is a way to do this right, not just a verbal agreement but something that is legally binding where you can evict them if you run into issues- but it is a grey area since they'll be renting out a "room" and not the whole house.

When I do a Quitclaim - the state would show the LLC while the title would be on my name - does that cause an issue ?

The issue I have is that I have some credit card debt thats holding me back making it very hard to save for capital for a down payment.
