I would assume that most everyone here is at least familiar with Scott Trench's Set for Life, but if not, simply put it is broken into three different phases of achieving financial freedom.

If it's in decent shape and no windows are cracked/broken, and all major systems work, I wouldn't be too worried about it. 

I tried to have the home warranty people come out at the recommendation of my realtor and as expected it cost me $60 and they can't do anything until it is broken and will just put bandaids on until it is completely broken.As he was leaving though he stated he knows a guy that can give me a used a/c unit if I needed.

Then it was being woken up by their vehicle with a broken muffler everyday at 6 am.

try to get him to his accountant to splain it all to himI dealt with that in the timber industry.. old land owner zero BASIS  1 to 2 million in standing timber  we offer them cash for it..and first words out of their mouth is they are afraid of paying taxsall while living in a beat up shack and driving a 60s pickup with a broken windshield.I had a way to 1031 the timber in a really nice apartment complex make them 10k  a monthnet and replant their property etc etc.. 

Also, I added a "maintenance/repair" category for minor things like fixing a leaking toilet, broken window, etc.

Hi Adam,I would recommend paying your Contractor's on a Payment Schedule that is broken down by Category.I typically create a detailed Scope of Work for the project that is broken down by categories (Demo, Electrical Rough-in, Plumbing Rough-in, Drywall, etc.). 

Let me run a scenario by you... and here I'm just playing devil's advocate I'm sure you're already frustrated with this individual and sounds like you've already made up your mind.Scenario #1 tenant breaks shower door:Tenant doesn't disclose to you that they broke it and moves out only to leave you with a large amount of water damage AND a broken door.

I'd hate to jump to any conclusions, however my gut tells me there are a slew of laws broken here: I just looked up "real estate fraud crime" and here's the definition: "Real estate fraud is when an individual or agency uses false information or misrepresents the information for any real estate transactions."

Very encouraging and I like the way you have it broken down into steps.
