I think if you ask small landlords they will be all over this. Despite the general Reddit vibe, small landlords love win win situations.

In my experience, rent to own is predatory. I looked into it when I was desperate to move and buy and quickly found it was a shitty deal for buyers. Sellers want the cash and don’t want to release the title.

I’m afraid this has been an ongoing issue since the very first “compassion” center “slater” opened its doors. Slater was caught spraying Eagle 20 on flowering plants, this was before testing. I’m sure they and other growers used it as well. Once the cultivators started growing, the all sprayed whatever the hell they wanted on flowering plants, spider mites after all can really cost you a fortune, of course introducing predator mites and ladybugs is just too hippy for these fast paced growers. Keep in mind all this cannabis was slated to be use by patients with medical conditions, some people with compromised immune systems and all sorts of disorders. Mold was almost a given during this time as well as banned pesticides. It wasn’t until the State finally, finally rolled out testing that they where finally caught, and their excuses where hilarious. In any event, if these growers are using irradiation machines to kill mold they dam well better disclose that on the packaging. Greed does funny things to people, they start off with the best intentions and then… it all goes to hell in a handbag. Best advice was from Neil young back in the day… home grown is a good thing, plant that bell and let it ring.

Man City supporter here. We don't really have much in the way of a group or bar in RI. I watch the matches at Murphy's. I've been going there long before it was a Liverpool bar and I know a large chunk of the Liverpool contingent so most don't mess with me.

I supply IT services to two vet clinics and I used to think the same. After a long business relationship with one of them just last weekend I was having a discussion with the owner while replacing his X-Ray PC. Looking at his bills from the vendors he uses for imaging, labs, medications, licenses for software that runs the practice the bills added up over 100k just for that month. The hourly rate charged (so what he actually makes and not what he is paying vendors that is passed into the patient) is actually lower than my hourly rate for IT support and I don’t have to pay 8 employees like he does.

Not saying there are not vets out there living it up but the costs are much much higher than I personally thought. Also anything after hours is always a premium. IT, HVAC, plumbing ect. People value their time off and charging higher rates for nights and weekends are more of a deterrent for things that are not an emergency.
