Commit to spending less, paying off high interest credit cards, maintaining positive cash flow in your personal finances, and cleaning up your personal balance sheet.  

Super clean.

"Dusk-to-Dawn" electric eyes and timers can be helpful, but don't replace personal surveillance. 

Both are on autopay, have insurance, keep their places clean, and are civil to each other.The upstairs tenant is a school teacher in her late 40's. 

Sure it can be a write off, but my question is if it is the highest and best use of your time (or the given employees time) to be running a skid steer - transporting it, storage, maintenance, cleaning, etc, and if it still makes sense if you need to hire someone to run it for you and take care of the other things.Add up all those recurring costs - maintaining the machine, maintaining the trailer, having a large enough truck to tow it, insurance and registration for all of the above, your time or your employees time related to all of the above...even at $14k a year it might be attractive enough to keep paying that and having them drop it off at the job site for you.A brand new machine could easily cost you over 6 figures - that's 7 years of rentals at $14k/year before including all the holding costs. 

They should have just cleaned it up and listed it for 70k.

When it comes to foundations(or anything structural for that matter), plumbing and electrical, it's better to bite the bullet and do it right the first time.

To date, we've cleaned up the title issues, maintained the land/property, and worked with the City of Kansas City to determine a new highest and best use based on the revised Midtown Plaza Area Plan.

I also have a close relationship with the cleaning company, so that part is covered. 

s, grammatically clean writing, the overly-used constant "over delivers" in every comment.Those were from many one and done, brand new accounts.
