I have it even worse than that , I let a woman move in with me and there are 2 boys , they are noisy and messy , they turn up the TV too loud , play on the drums , and pee on the toilet seat .

@Rob Drum  I think part of this comes from those coming from the w2 world and for whatever reason they hate their job  hate their life and think buying rental property will be nirvana  LOL.I never quite got the hey I am going into landlording so I can be retired and never worry again.. granted its a business and you create income by RISKING a ton.. and then counting on others to pay you and not destroy your assets.. some areas are simply easier than others to achieve this..

I also get such great deals that I am able to rent for below market rent, drums up a ton of interest, and I am still getting great returns.I'd love to comment more but I hear my little girl waking up.

Rob Drum I did not go to East Lake.

The lottery is a voluntary tax on people who never took a Statistics 101 course.Ones I know who play it regularly are the same people who go on about how they're always broke.Believe it was called racketeering, or something like that, before the state legalized such activity.The local newscasts are forever drum-beating it.

So it scales better on our side... provided you can drum up those 100 clients.

I will say mine paid.. but our market at that time in the Bay area was quite a bit better than the PNW.. many don't realize how bad it was mid 80s seattle Portland.. if Boeing got a cold the economy tanked.. timber was in the dull  drums all pre tech..  

They did not move this oil drum safely. 

Don't get something smaller and lighter.Get a 1/4 in. drum auger snake that's 25 feet long.
