I know BP is geared more towards residential and commercial real estate but I was just curious if anyone is invested in farmland and if so how that's doing for you? Just a general question.Thanks!

I recently purchased a property where the back yard is full of bamboo plants (shoots?). They are sprouting up as far as 20 feet from a bamboo patch at the rear of the property. I talked to the neighbor, and he said...
What should I know before renting to low-income before I do it? Is there any guidance I should read? I know it has a lot to do with the screening of tenants before hand. Any advice?
