George,Did you take photos of the carpet before?

Thanks for the advice Jon...as for the photo, I prefer to remain private, since this site could be viewed by tenants (hope everyone understands).

.- Invest in good photos.- Have a good contract but make it easy to read.

I've been paid to take photos and video of properties for out of town investors, and to give opinions on what the rents might be there.

I enjoyed your photos/style.

After taxes (remember taxes are based on nominal gains not real returns) you typically lose purchasing power/wealthShort term speculators may rush into any asset thinking they know the future and the efficient market hypothesis is wrong.

Sent you the new PM some actual photos of the propertie?

Tenants that have been around that long likely won't move for a nominal amount ($25-35), and it might cost you a lot more than you think to update and re-rent at a higher price point.You could also approach the other quad owners to see they'd agree to apportion water costs to the tenants.

Take a look at the photo below and you'll see it: You now can check out the three newest blog posts from the BiggerPockets Blog on the Forum Sidebar.

Rounding that payment up some nominal amount each month also will shave another few years off.
