Now if I had another tenant ready to go and slot straight in, then sure, I would consider refunding him some rent. 

I only sent out reminders because I had a lot of law students who would have the rent check sitting on their dresser, but they were so exhausted that they'd just forget to put it in the drop slot (the owner I worked for was old school and wasn't interested in online options).It seems like the only reason you need to contact your tenants is to tell them how much they owe in utilities. 

Sinks that hang on the wall and don't really need the base usually have offset brackets that the sink hangs on, that are bolted to the wall, and a couple of slots to bolt the sink directly into the wall.

@Jonathan S. lots of people are making assumptions that he will be trouble down the road, which is possible but not guaranteed.

@Hilary GravesI typically do but I hold multiple viewings in time slots on the same day to save time.I don’t typically let someone apply without seeing the house.

It's not like you are stuck in some hourly or professional job with income slots that you are wedged into.

I agree with Matt and Dana that playing the appreciation game is more like playing the slots, so I've decided to ignore this as a factor in my buy decision.

I will take the contrarian view here... this is an owner occupied purchase correct and your using one of your mortgage slots to buy a 3 unit..

I viewed a flipped home the other day it had what appeared to be RTA cabinets with all the features, slow close under draw slides and hardwood draws with the slotted cuts.

when I first started out I knew a kid who used to put his card in the credit card slot at gas stations so they had to take it out before they can use it to pay.
