Two jobs: get elected; get re-elected. The ONLY way to influence is to press one of those buttons. No other means on influence exists.

@David Cam

Powerful tool when used wisely. Do NOT mix business and personal items on that line, accounting becomes a nightmare if you do. Keep it 100% investment related. No boats or vacations.

Equity partner is a big deal. Like a marriage, pick your partner carefully. And like a marriage, firing them becomes much more difficult. Expectations need to be absolutely clear and agreed upon in writing. Far easier in all respects to just pay the service provider.

@Bill C.

Do NOT give out equity as payment.

My neighbour has been waiting for the next crash for 30+ years. My realtor has been saying “I’m in” for a decade but still wants to wait till the market corrects. Both are exactly as wealthy as they were at the start of the wait.

@David Choi

Learn your local laws. Has she signed a term agreement for a year or similar? If so, my response would be something like “your lease agreement is legally binding and enforceable as per ____ (state the local Act here). Consequences for breaking this agreement include but are not limited to:

- Financial impact

- credit impact

- etc “

Depending on timber type you may really have something there.

If this is small town as described, I’m guessing a 10 block foot race would get you there and back.

I wouldn’t stick a box full of cash in a visible location against the side of a building under any circumstances. Even if it lasts, first idiot to stick bills in without their name on a sealed envelope is gonna ruin your system when the total is short. This is a tenant problem, not a you problem. Make it easy for them to pay you, don’t make it easy for them to screw you. Point them to the bank, if you bank 4 counties away, grab a local account wherever.

Money order gets deposited at the nearest branch of your bank. They’re responsible to make sure it arrives by xx:xx on the first as indicated in your lease.

Don’t let the tail wag the dog. Other than sending them the address of your branch and the correct account info to deposit to your only responsibility on the 1st should be checking your banking app to make sure it has been done.

I use a Titan. 1900 Pro. But I will buy a 440i once I find one on sale for more than 5% off... worth it. Multiple exteriors and interiors. That said, for small jobs like a few doors etc a paint in hand style one would be okay for a while. Don’t paint a house with them, carrying a pint all day and stopping every 6’ to refill the thing just isn’t worth it. Especially if you end up with flashing and your interior is striped after. Pay for themselves after one use if you take your time and don’t screw it up. I saved $5k+ on my first exterior job.
