Does he break routine sometimes?

I budget to cover my expected worse case vacancy and cover routine maintenance.

There is a tremendous linkage in advertising assuming you follow a routine and system..

I need to take out the dryer anyway because I suspect that the dryer vent has never been cleaned, and it runs 25' feet, so it's not one of those through-the-wall ones you don't really have to worry about.I figure I'm going to have an afternoon routine once every five years of pulling out the dryer, draining the WH, snaking the dryer vent, replacing the anode, and putting everything back again.

Unless the Collection Statute Expiration Date has passed (10 years), IRS is highly unlikely to release that lien without complete resolution of the tax matters.The IRS routinely releases a lien against property when the lien is greater than the property value, as long as they receive the sales proceeds after any property taxes/mtgs are paid off.

Not to mention that there are attorneys that routinely market to/shop for clients who are being evicted.  

The property is probably in foreclosure and when found vacant the bank will hire a property preservation company to keep the property up by mowing the grass and doing routine inspections. 

We have just under 100 tenants, and 90 percent of them are routinely late.

The problem I see though is that a lot of the houses in my price range (30-60k purchase; 130-160 ARV) are routinely going for thousands above asking.

As I got older I helped in the business by doing routine maintenance and helping prepare units after tenants left.
