Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. 

Hello all,

I have a tenant that has been somewhat of a problem tenant.  Disrespectful attitude and began calling about issues more than normal and then won't be available.  Now they have asked for a receipt for each months rent.  Rent is not in cash, it is in check in the postal mail

Is it standard to always provide a receipt for each month's check?  Would the bank statement be proof of rental checks?  I want have to mail this or physically deliver the receipt each month.

Thanks,

Thanks, Hannah, but I believe that article is outdated.  My Zillow interface no longer is setup like the one in the example. 

Hey everyone,

I've copied the HTML from Zillow and posted to Craigslist before.  The last time was almost a year ago.  I just reactived a listed on Zillow and I cannot find how to copy the listing into a Craigslist ad.  Is this feature still available?  

Thanks,

Brandon

Thanks for the response.  I appreciate it. 

Hello all,

I'm in the beginning phases or running the numbers on a self storage facility.  I'm curious a ballpark price for fencing in about 3 acres.  I'm going to be calling actual companies later, but I'd like to get a ballpark upfront.  I'm probably looking at chan link with razor wire, but I would prefer something that looks a bit nicer, dependent upon cost. 

Thanks,

It's on the downloads page.  We've made a few changes to it since it was last updated, but nothing major.  Just fixed a couple cells that didn't work and renamed a few things.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your input

My wife and I came up with this spreadsheet to track the expenses and income of each door and each property and all properties as a whole.  We currently have one duplex but set up the spreadsheet so that new properties can be easily added and can feed into the master total.  I based this off of something that (Josh or Brandon, I can't remember) had uploaded previously but we changed it to break down the individual expenses per unit.  Each month has its own tab with line items to enter under column categories.

We currently follow the 50% rule, but I know that everyone does it differently and in the future we may deviate from the 50% rule, so we only entered the straight profit of income minus expenses.  We added the extra tabs to break down the individual transactions per door and per property.  The tabs are set up so that if you have a multi-family the expense and income from each unit is entered into its own table (example: unit 1, unit 2) and expenses that would encompass the entire property are entered into the last table as "Property Expenses."  The Property Expenses table is not a sub-total of the individual unit parts, but is only for expense that are incurred for the entire property, such as lawn care.  There is a "Grand Total" line at the end of each property and at the end of each tab which summarizes each property and each tab and then feeds into the master page through formulas. 

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or advice, particularly in the way the types of expenses that I've forgotten about or the way the expenses have been categorized.

Thanks @Matt Faix.  My wife and I just finished working on a variation of one that either Brandon or Josh had posted a while back. I'm going to post in the other forum to try to find out how to upload my excel file and I'll start another post about opinions on that file.
