I use mine for storage of beach toys, drying rack for swim suits, storage of extra supplies and on occasion it’s an extra parking space.  

Hard to squeeze and extra fees out of tenants for if they don't mow lawn etc.

I am only working part time now with my w2 job so I do have some extra time on my hands.

You can rent out a room or two and earn extra income from the rent.

sounds ridiculous but a situation ive encountered multiple times. ask yourself how much extra work you want in your life, offsite landlords get put out of business regularly, I've seen it over and over again. consider your options and learn everything but diving in.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

We don’t want to nickel and dime our tenants, but we see the value and it brings in a little bit of extra income.

After paying closing costs, title fees, appraisal, origination, underwriting, processing, legal and other fees, the typical refinance costs about 1.75 - 2.5% of the loan amount just in closing costs (obviously before people yell at me, this varies drastically by state, but having done loans all over the country I find this to be a pretty accurate estimate).  2) Keeping the average 2% cost in mind and the fact that people typically refinance when rates drop about .75% - 1% or more, I wanted to see if paying an extra point now when I was already paying all the closing costs to buy the rate down made sense. 1 point can get you between .5% - .625% off the rate depending on the days pricing and the coupon you are pricing. 

Key Benefits: First-Year Additional Deductions: The cost segregation study enabled the property owner to claim an extra $215,000 in deductions during the first year.

In my experience, the 2 inch blinds last longer, look way better and are worth the extra $$.
