If the electric comes back high or the car goes in the shop or your wife needs new bedroom toys because you're spending so much time managing the strategy, now you borrow against the HELOC to pay.

Usually related to the car in the driveway, and any other toys...I recently looked at a house that cost just $40,000, with a renter in place.

Nothing else matters at this point, life doesn't end regardless of your decision.For myself I am a poor landlord, I only make a bit north of $100,000 per year so I need positive cash flow to buy groceries, pay for my cottage, buy my toys and take 2 or 3 Caribbean vacations a year. 

The property had to pay a person every week go out and pick up chicken bones,poop, and demolished toys.

Folks lived off of unemployment as long as they could, they sold off all their toys like 4 wheelers, campers, guns, snowmobiles, etc. 

Maybe a coloring book/crayons if they have kids, a chew toy if they have a dog, etc.  

As if tenants were dial up toys that crank out money for you.  

you can look for BBQ grills, toys in the yard, cars in the drive way etc.   

Open up the floor registers and clean them out, this is not only good for your HVAC system, but also will reveal things like cigarette butts (unauthorized smoking), pet food (unauthorized pets), and the occasional kid toy (this is okay, since finding a barbie shoe or the missing lego will make a child happy.) 3.

Heck, I now have the weirdest picture of older women with some boy-toys on the premises in my head!
