Yes your tenants should notify you as soon as they notice any water leaks, gas /electrical problems and it should be documented in your lease, regarding how you would like to be notified (phone call/text) and who would be accountable and responsible for payment in the case of negligence (example: plumbing problem, plumber finds paper towels/toys in the toilet which has clogged up the sewer line-are you willing to absorb that cost?)

I like using my local cabinet shop where i know the  owner he appreciates the business and we get great service since we buy 10 to 15 sets a year in the one market..I know in MS I see the guys here build the cabinets on site... even in higher end and use very cheap hardware.. we use soft pulls on upgraded hardware always...

Fortunately in CT these records are all free and scanned in as soft copies so life is easy.

lot 70k  vertical 190k  soft 20k  280 all in  350 sell price Net 70kIf we never got any of our cash back until the very end of the project this is a 82% apr on the original 500k invested. we borrow from bank at 6%.WE don't have accelerated lot pay downs ( Ie own last lots free and clear) so we will get lot equity prorate as we sell thereby increasing our yield substantially.

A lot of people would've thrown in the towel, which usually happens just before success.

My husband being a nice person had a soft heart to thier reasons on why they couldnt pay rent that month, and let them slide.

First off, there is nothing soft about that ball and folks, girls can play regular baseball as good as the boys!  

So that being said you need to look at your market and assess how strong or soft the commercial niche you want to be in is.  

As Steve (posted below) knows all to well, this town is way over priced.
