The trick is to use a pair of side cutting pliers to pinch/cut the end so you get a nice small hole.

I do not want to get pinched and have to dip hard into my own pocket, but I also do not want to have too much cash lying around as I want to continually pick up properties.thanks,strive.

They are already in a pinch--you give them value by providing non-traditional financing.

I have not found that to be an obstacle and it greatly reduces the chances of me getting myself in a pinch due to failure to disclose at the appropriate time.

This is a situation were being a penny pinching, 'get all you can' landlord is beaten out by being a human being.

I make a great 6 figure salary but have come to realize that trying to budget and pinch pennies isn't going to let me spend more time with my kids during any of their formative years and maybe not even until they are adults and I'm too old to really enjoy that time anyway.

Not the best, but can do in a pinch. 

I would Pinch myself.. that is about as good as it gets.. is what I would do and would get that sucker on the market so you can realize that incredible profit.

Either way, it seems the market keeps you pinched and hard to cashflow.

I have access to more if needed in a pinch but this is my capx/maint bank.
