If this is a typical Ohio rental, you definitely don't want to include appliances beyone stove and refrigerator (no dishwasher, garbage disposal, ceiling fans, washers/dryers, trash compactor, etc).

I keep disposable e-mail addresses to weed out the ton of garbage that would get into my real e-mail addresses.When someone gets my real e-mail it is because they have proven themselves and I know they are friends or biz associates..

I saw a guy replace one of my garbage disposals in 20 minutes and charge me $175.

Be sure to send your final report of return/retention of deposit in a timely fashion and absolutely before the deadline stated by law.These are the categories we use in our final Deposit/Move-out Report:Unpaid Rent, Unpaid Late Fees, Unpaid Lease Violation Fees, Unpaid Utilities, Moving & Disposal, Extra Cleaning, Missing Items, Damages, Professional Fees (such as legal or specialty services).Have you been charging her for damages as you discover them, or were you waiting until the end of tenancy.

So at the beginning of the season, plant the affected area with many of the proper type of sunflowers- then at the end of the year, cut them down and take them to the dump(they’ll have high levels of lead in them- I’m not sure if you have to dispose of them in a special way, but you can’t let them die in the yard as the lead they’ve taken up will then go back into the soil.)

In doing so they have also increased the value of the property & increased profits when you dispose/sell.3) Amortization: tenants are not only paying enough to allow for cash flow they are also paying down the mortgage.

It will cost me MONEYH to friggin tear that thing down, clear the land  pay for the removal and disposal of the rubble.

Assuming I have $180k cash at my disposal and the rest would have to be financed.1.

And then use other opportunities to "rathole" those post tax returns into what will become life long tax deferred assets - either whole ownership of real estate or passive fractional where you actually own the underlying asset.One trick ponies don't grab a crowd for long and you'll want a whole arsenal at your disposal to make the most of a REI career.
