Too many people "find God" after an addiction, prison time, etc. and use it to mask their past.

We purchase our student rooming house as a "home" for my sister-in-law {she does live there ... see below} and, because of that, the rents did not count towards income for the purchase.Clientele: When we looked at rooming houses we found three basic types of rooming/boarding house in our area.Student - there are two universities and community college in our little city, so students are a prime clientele;Industry/Organization/Institution - another type of rooming house is one which is near and caters to a particular employer/workforce (i.e. a factory) or institution (hospital, military).Social -  the third type in our area is the rooming house that caters to the working poor, the addicted, and other on the edges of society.Each of the above types of rooming house requires a different set of skills and management style.  

We want what we think the money will do for us.It's rather like an addiction, really: addicts don't want alcohol, drugs, pleasure, etc.

My background is in law enforcement, firefighting, and collateral recovery and NOTHING compares to this field, it's so addictive and rewarding and heartbreaking all at the same time.

It's addicting.

I found the deal through Stu Grazier, a fellow BP member, active duty Navy guy, and real estate addict.

I'm starting to get antsy, and I'm starting to tell my wife over and over again, How much I HATE working for a SET WAGE making other people rich.That being said, I feel I'm a pretty smart guy, went to college at 17, there I earned my Associates Degree, chasing a vision of helping people with addiction and crisis by working in Psychology.

Vacant homes no matter the condition are a drug addicts playground.

They'll inject more money into the economy, no different than giving a dying drug addict more drugs to keep them alive. 

Meanwhile, one of the tenants had their car stolen by their drug addicted roommate aka their son.Cops visit twice in the past week... looking for him.A.
