Having proper rain water management can help alleviate that.

Doing so might help alleviate some of the financial stress associated with owning two properties.

I'm also finding that trades are declining smaller priced jobs which take away the opportunity for higher priced ones; in this case, let them know that you have multiple properties so a small job today is worth doing for future business from you.I never thought I would have to offer this but please don't do what a former client of mine did and hire drug addicts to do the work (and that's why they are now a former client); it pays to have the job done right while affiliating yourself with people who don't make you look over your shoulder after they leave. 

Potentially we have another 4 years after that, where if those policies don't change and we have several million more immigrants and they will need someplace to live...again case for multifamily and mobile homes.....and if we teach all the immigrants coming here to be great consumers like the rest of us already here...that probably is a good storm for warehouses too if we can get them to sign up for Amazon accounts.Maybe a third asset class on both fronts is biomedical research space.....drug/medical device companies even during the downturn seem to do well and they need a place to do their research. 

So ironic he just criticized getting a partner…and he made it sound like getting a partner means that partner is automatically hooked on drugs……..bleh.

All these stupid celebrities with all sorts of stupid issues, with lawsuits, drugs, alcohol.

BrianNothing prevents tenant from running the water, kicking holes in walls and door, or other vandalism.However, these things seldom happen as retribution.More likely, a tenant fills up an inflatable pool every other day in the summer, or fails to report that the kitchen drain is leaking, or that the boyfriend beats her up every weekend and busting up the place, or that tenant lets a dog do his business on the carpet, or overflows the tub because they fell asleep.While a good tenant will agree to a fair water policy; the court will typically throw out the policy in an eviction.Keep in mind that you can get a leak notification from water department via “clear-reads” through the mycleveland water website.Usually bad tenants are multi-dimensional... they tend to follow a pattern... low credit score, extension criminal background hits such as driving with suspended license, expired plates, drugs, panning the rent late, refusing to pay the water, violating trash pickup guidelines, police calls by the neighbors, no-show for service calls, removing smoke retractor batteries for the kids toys, not replacing burned out lightbulbs, not taking care of the yard (in a single family”, busting blinds and screens, etc. 

They will likely list all of their expenses (ie: prescription drugs, phone bills, etc), and also inform you they are on a fixed income-- when you tell them it's going up.
