And let me say this to you 007 pls don't take offense to what you deem as negative threads see that solves nothing.I understand and so do many others, what you have to do is ACTION.

So I look more at other factors: - Criminal history - especially nothing to do with drugs - Eviction history - don't want it but I have taken people with one eviction in the past - Rental history -- are they hopping from place to place every year?

Some more experienced folks might understand how to work the contract and better command performance on the deal, perhaps not so much on the OP (no offense Matt C, but your just green with newness).

If your lease agreement doesn't prohibit driving too fast in the residential area of the unit, you need to have a landlord attorney in your state look at the lease you're using, because driving too fast in a residential area may be a civil or criminal infraction or may even rise to the level of endangering the lives of others (neighbors).

Thanks @Jim Brown"strong defense makes for a good offense." lol...

OK  now that I am done laughing .. of course you have to pay income taxjust think of all the criminals that were put into jail not because they got caught doing criminal activities but for tax evasion.check your state.. there is a minimum where you don't have to pay tax.. but if your total income is over that then you do.good luck and by all means pay your tax's us old guys will need our SSI benefits

No offense BP! 

In the '90s the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), set up and funded by the US Gov't (ie; the taxpayers) bailed out the bankers who had made the bad loans, the developers who had taken on too risky of ventures and the PMI companies who had backed those risky loans.By mitigating the losses for those parties they saved some people from being civilly sued, prevented some criminal prosescutions and made sure that many of their "friends" got preferential treatment when it came time to buying the real "wholesale" deals.We had looked at a condo development in Houston on the theory that we could get the entire place for about $3K PER UNIT.

I had one family member who I didn’t get along with I was forced into the deal by parent and it didn’t turn out great criminal and legal preceding so don’t mess with it walk away.

(No offense)Both state and federal law can come into play.The states BP code and the CCR have a lot of information.
