please remember where we are in the re cycle!

In Vancouver it is the water/sewer and garbage/recycling bills that become our responsibility if not paid.One strategy is to make sure you receive a copy of the bills that you might end up being responsible to pay.

I like recycled flower boxes as they have handles and are free.

If there's enough equity for a decent BRRRR, and it's a solid property, I think it's more reason for someone to come back again with their recycled capital.

@Michinori Kaneko - The primary purpose of the BRRRR strategy is to recycle your capital continually into more deals and create infinite returns on your initial investment. 

I actually like it when some of the old stuff gets recycled because there is a lot of good content in there that I wouldn't have seen otherwise.

For the non-variable utilities/telcom - those with a fixed cost that is not based on usage (garbage/recycling, yard debris, wifi) keep those factored into the set rent.

@Katrina BledsoeThe reason many investors focus on BRRRR is because of the ability to "recycle" your investment dollars.I purchased my first property with 15% down in SE Michigan.

Love the ability to reuse and recycle versus landfill!
