Al,These friendly rounds of one-upmanship with neighbour landlords can be beneficial all the way around.Last week, I had my crew raking and hauling away leaves at two of our properties in preparation for the coming snow.

He is currently working through the cosmetic work that can be done without pulling a permit.Foundation and RoofSo far we have cleaned up all the units and hauled the trash to the local dumpster.

I liked my toys (guns, etc) and spent every extra dollar I could on them. if I wanted something I found a way to get it. you guys have touched on the budget side, so I will add what im doing now to get my down payment for my first deal....i'm selling some of my toys and not getting that new truck.

If you're about to have legal actions, don't do anything, eviction was one of the biggest issues I was referring to. Yes

I toyed with the idea of pulling the toilet and cutting a hole in the front apron of that fiberglass tub, but really didn't want to do that.

@Brian Gibbons,I agree you will have shade tree lawyer who is waiting in the wings to help the uneducated home owners when the lawyers say I can get you a u-haul full of money, and the home owner's eyes will light up like a used sear's Roebuck pinball machine and now when you go to court, and the judge will make the decision if the home owner gets anything or gets put into the street.

I prefer just to make the kill and leave the hauling, skinning, and dressing to the butchers.

This area didn't crash hard and has pretty much bounced back to or above previous highs so it isn't the worst bet in the world.Also if you are in it for the long haul in 20 years you can be making crazy amounts of money as rents go up and your payments are fixed, or get paid off.

Their story is that they paid the "property manager" $800 and that they were to clean it up and haul trash and that their 2nd month of rent would be free.

One of my brothers had 50 of them, they were flatbeds, and he hauled things like steel etc.
