Some have paid with a money order or cash instead, but that was their choice...not something I've required.Lawn Care:  I take care of it, but then I live on the property also.Maintenance issues:  Same.Late Fees:  I have toyed with two ideas. 

Deals are also structured differently so quantity is not the sole gauge of who is making money or who has the best team for the long haul.  

The tree damaged another tree on the way down but the brush has been hauled off and things cleaned up.

I have been toying with the idea now for about 2 years and if I get good feedback I may start this immediatly in my area.

But I'll refinance in five years and for a better rate and meanwhile I still will have all the other economic factors working for me, and I'll own another solid income producing asset, which is making money for me 24/7/365.Buying a rental property is like a marriage, it's for the long haul.

I happen to believe that if i spend that $150 on the house, then i'm at least not spending it on more "toys" and junk for myself.

This house was to be a rental and a pool along with a rental property is bad news, so it had to go.The company charged me a little over $5,000 to professionally jackhammer the concrete into small junks, haul away all the concrete, and fill the hole with a truck load of fill dirt.

All of the poorly designed logos and bouncing things in the dock seem so incredibly childish, like something one would find on a child's toy.

For the long haul, I'm not necessarily looking for cash flow, but more at building equity.Thanks for your help,Jason
