Haven't "had" to do it, but it anything that attracts a renter is a good thing.Installing the blinds helps to prevent the tenant from having to hammer in little nails and hanging sheets over the windows, which I guess is okay but looks totally ghetto.

Can I just lower the ceiling (hang drywall 2" lower than current ceiling)?

I’ll hang up and listen.

Will look at the 1031 exchange or hang onto this one.  

Back story:I've been lurking for a short while and have learned way more than I ever imagined I would hanging out on this site. 

Make sure the walk ways are nice and clear, no gross snow hanging out in piles at the street, etc.

And will (hanging head in shame) tell the mortgage guy about the electrical issue.

Well worth it but what started out as fun hanging out with friends, I ended up with complete strangers and almost feeling like a captor in my own house luckily once my girlfriend moved back I was able to take back a full paid off house and enjoy the major benefits of not having a house payment.Single Family Residence: Bought first one in 2010 at auction for 26,500.

You hang your license and start working ....

Other than the AC, there is no other large expenses hanging over us.
