But we live in a culture where people believe that the easiest way to heard a living or make extra money is to sue someone. 

From there I ran FSBO on zillow and let it sit then dropped the price and the random buyers found it. 

I plan to live in one side for a year or two but I ran the numbers as though I’m going to rent out both sides and hire a property manager.

So I did what anyone of us would do, i ran home to see what Taxes were due on it.

So I have this new situation that I have not run into before and was hoping some of the experts on this site can guide me.I had prospective tenant complete an application and she is from rural PA (north of Pittsburg) and when I ran her background check she came up clean with the exception if showing a lot of prior addresses - 11 different addresses since 1994.These are all very rural locations and all PO box locations where mail delivery to the house is not available.Should I be concerned about this many addresses (11) over a 15 year period of time.She had no evictions or criminal judgements and I really could not find anything that could be considered a major red flag other than the number or different addresses and the fact that they were mostly (6 out of the 11) PO boxes.Should I be concerned or not worry about it and rent the house to her and her two kids?

Well, I'd love to fill this intro with rose and candy but the truth is, I screwed up, big time.Between the easy money and a serious alcohol addiction, my partner and I ran through a million plus in about 3 years.

Perfect weather, every type of entertainment and amusement in the world, cultural events, beautiful beaches, world class universities and medical care, etc.

I lived in Crucita for a few years but now live full time in San Clemente where we are starting our condo development project.It's definitely worth coming back especially if you already have a feel for Ecuador and if the lifestyle and culture resonated with you.

And those that live in Oregon of course think we are Oregon everyone wants to be US:) I still Pine for the Napa Valley though that was the best place I ever lived.. spent 10 great years there.Bottom line for weather culture fun and many other reasons there is a reason 40 million plus people live in CA....

I Ran names,  and companies with the BBB, and most,  if not rated had an "F" Rating.
