Come up with another plan that doesn't put them in a fragile spot, and cause a strain on your relationship.

One great trick is to mount the saw upside down to a sawhorse or small worktable, then you can crosscut or rip right on your marked line easily without straining to see the line through the dust or control the tool.

I knew landlording would be difficult, but never imagined the emotional strain that dealing with certain tenants would have on me.   

You are less likely to put strain on one cord when plugging or unplugging the other one.What are your thoughts on this? 

I really liked how nice it was and I got to know the neighbors and they're really great too.Purchase price = $31,500Rehab = $6,000 (approximately)Work done:+ Painting all rooms in the house (needed primer to cover ugly colors) + ceilings and trim+ New rainfall tub/shower faucet + plumbing+ New ceramic tile tub surround and tile base around the room+ New toilet+ New glass block window in the bathroom+ New windows in the entire house (except for large picture window), double-pane vinyl windows with tinted UV protection+ Basement laundry tub plumbing repairs+ New water heater+ Drywall replacement in upper bedroom around stairwell+ New outlets and switches in all rooms+ New light fixtures in two rooms+ New kitchen floor (sheet vinyl) also used on back hall and stairs to basement+ Miscellaneous (some new cabinet handles, smoke detectors, CO2 detectors, door knobs, new locks, curtain rods, curtains, light bulbs, grass cutting and gutter cleaning)Rented out at $875/month + utilities.The tenant I have is actually one from one of my other rentals. 

I would be concerned about the house having all single pane glass and double sliding glass doors and wood siding.

After air fare, hotel for one night, a new set of tires, and a little body work on the right rear quarter panel, I had about $ 16,000 into it.

While I can easily sit on the property as long as I have my day job, if that goes away, it would put a real strain on my wife.I'm hoping to reallocate to some positive cash-flow properties that will be self-sustaining even if I am not.If I can sell easily, I'm willing to let someone else have next year's 17% appreciation;-) (That's a zillow joke.)Also my huevos are all in one basket.

Huge ad to my right lol.I like it but it seems like the text is way smaller :( it strains my eyes.
