I investigated your ideas on the web.

Some of the larger expenses-Interior/Exterior Paint, Storm shutters for a few of the front large windows, added additional cabinets to one unit, New refrigerator from Dent/Scratch store after old one died, Laundry units that tenant pays +$50/mo for etc.

I use these tools for my own house so rather than have them clutter up my garage they all are stored nicely in my trailer.

Something I do to help get a tenant out when there lease it up is I will get free boxes from the local liquor and hardware stores and drop them off at the door.

There are two power systems, battery operated or hard wired, which allow the meter to communicate with a wireless router that sends the data to a database at the company (this is accessable to you the owner/property manager via the web) and then a bill is sent to the tenants automatically at a interval that you set.

Do they say that about Bankers, Grocery Store Owners, Doctors (well maybe doctors..bad example) plumbers, etc?

It's no better than working at the Verizon store, in fact it's probably worse. 

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books for this or you can learn by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.
