If a street looks well-kept, like your 57th St property, you may have a good deal for the long haul, no matter what happens a few blocks away. 

For instance your rent is X a month, but if you're willing to do certain repairs yourself then I'll lower the rent to Y.

I've been toying with the idea of getting into the real estate business for years now.  

& the place next door has toys, trash cans, bikes, strollers, etc. scattered all over the yard.

We have toyed with the idea of saving longer and buying the condo with cash or just getting a mortgage now while deals and interest rates are good. 

Haul lumber, pound nails, sweep and do all the junk that hired labor does.

Hard costs can go up considerably if you have to blast rock for foundations and haul massive amounts of dirt.

From all appearances Propertyware is in it for the long haul and take customer suggestions seriously.- Marketing tied into our website makes listing a property on our website extremely easy: upload photos, narrative, click "Publish for Rent" in Propertyware, it is up on our listings page on our website.- Accepting e-payments from tenants, direct deposits for owners, all within Propertyware.

Just roll the toxic waste barrels off and start hauling out sand..Good luck!

The only thing holding me back from selling everything is that I'm already in for the long haul.
