I cannot stress this enough.

But we do live in an overly litigious society where predatory lawyers and frivolous lawsuits abound.

That is stressful enough without adding more by worrying about paying back friends or family.

I want to stress that the most important thing is to get approval before you start spending money on construction just to be denied on your plan later

I don't care how much rent they pay, if it's stressful and they aren't taking care of the property, they have to go.

It can definitely be pretty stressful, but I understand how much of this can be a learning experience for future deals.After this deal, I would love to learn how to do deals remotely and not have to be as hands-on with the day-to-day activities.

The key is how late are they and does this cause you stress?

Society Hill in Philadelphia, for example, is that city's most stable real estate market, and New Orleans' French Quarter is the most expensive district in that city.

The process is stressful enough as it is but being a plane ride away would make it so much worse.Good luck and hope you find something you like!

Try local humane society for free or low cost spay/neuter clinics.Also, note that theres a severe lack of housing options for ppl who have pitbulls so chances are if you get the owner in trouble, they may have to surrender dogs to animal control which is a death sentence.
