If you are organized enough to forsee hang ups and talk with your GC about potential challenges on a regular basis, two brains are better than one.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

You're a trooper @Don Miller for hanging in there.

Hang tight.

Some of the accounting features are a little clunky, but now that I've got the hang of it everything runs pretty smoothly day-to-day.The thing I like most about RentVine is their customer support.

But occasionally we have issues and tenants need to be asked to leave or just decide to disappear in the middle of winter and it sucks.The worst part is I find the quality of tenant interested or willing to move this time of year isn't the greatest either - often times there is a reason they have to move right now since most landlords don't like ending leases this time of year.Either lower your rent or just hang in there.

We have been in real estate (long-term rentals) for over 20 years now and looking forward to hanging up the maintenance hat.

@Kevin G. go hang out at your local Home Depot between 6-9am on a Saturday.They contractors there at that time are the hard-working ones.Then, you just have to figure out how to screen them so you don't get ripped off.- First Rule: you buy the materials, so they don't need 50% down!
