He's moving out the tenants and hauling off the trash.

Like any Alaskan, toys are a must and finally there's room with an oversized two car garage and a large combination storage shed and greenhouse.While the investment wasn't perfect pricing, it was perfect timing for us to quickly move before the school year.

In the same way, if another child brings a toy and doesn't share it but it flaunting it at other children, I talk about how that is actually his toy so he can do what he wants with it, but that his behavior is ugly and he is trying to make other children feel ugly, too--he is trying to make then envious, and why it isn't his owning of the toy that's the problem but his nasty behavior and how we can avoid being dragged down with him, etc.I make sure my kids both succeed and fail.

Doesn't look great but if the area is hot it could be worth it for the long haul

Furniture, food left overs, toys, clothing, appliances.4.- Getting rid of any infestation.

All together, we hauled out five 30 yard dumpsters of garbage.

If you need to hire someone to haul it and rent a storage area, you might be able to charge them for it (if you think they would pay). 

I really wouldn't want to own anything long term (I know people have strategies based on selling and make tons of money, but I mean if you intend to be a long term landlord of that specific property) that nets less than $400 a month, over the long haul, just because my time is worth too much to expend the effort of managing a property for less than that.10% for capex, management, repairs, and vacancy together seems awfully low to me if you're buying an older duplex.

The mobile home was a huge concern and I knew it needed to be removed in order to get the best price for the land, so it took some work to find someone who wanted it enough to haul it away himself.

If you are in this for the long-haul, cash flow isn't really that important right now...assuming you can pay your bills without it.
