I actually started telling people that when one tenants boyfriend during the lease signing was asking me to relocate shelving 2 inches higher and other such ridiculous requests.

My favorite thing is to build shelving into the walls - for example, our stairway to the basement has shelving for cleaning supplies, which we built into the stud space of the walls.

Government found Osama Bin Laden, they can find you.

I like the Wack a Mole analogy.. if I think back on my career in this game that started in 75.there were all distinct and different events that perpetuated a slow down or price compression in real estate75.... coming out of VN war  soft economy83 - 85  sky high mortgage and interest rates  ( SL crisis  but a lot of money was made picking up those deals)89 to 92  in bay area  Earth quake and war.. prices in SF and bay area compressed 20 to 50%  ( we have short memories.) but that was also pre high tech.2000  dot com bomb  short lived 2001  Bin laden short lived07 to 2011  global credit crisis worse i have ever seen or I think any one basically living ever saw.. worse than great depression in many areas...

All I need to do is paint and some minor repairs upstairs , strip out some shelves and odds and ends in the unfinished basement and paint walls ceiling and floor .
