Move to an electronic card system even for the soap dispensers. 

Of course, if the tenants don't file tax returns, there's not much we can do except try to garnish their bank account when they get their federal return - if you can find their bank and serve that bank a Garnishment Notice before the tenant withdraws the electronic payment from the IRS/ tax preparer.Hope this all helps!

The locks that I use also specify to use Alkaline because Lithium can damage the electronics in the lock. 

The listings were not found on the MLS, and I think i had to basically call and 800 number to coordinate the showing which was slightly interesting since they didn't / couldn't have MLS lockboxes (in NJ we have electronic/satellite tracked boxes).So, Redfin still believes that their "national call center of salary agents" with "pay the showings local agents" is better, not sure in what sense (probably for THEIR profit margins), than the current system.This continued trend to non-person-to-person transaction system might appeal to the younger generations, but I think they will find it lacking if given the chance.

Bashing Loanman, Missingascrew, & Art Vandalay does nothing but further provoke the harsh criticism you shall receive.

I have many investor friends and clients who manage smaller properties pretty easily from a distance by having a Realtor list it for rent, and get rent electronically sent, as well as have contractors they can call.

Price materials and labor cost will depend on how large of scope of work but a good company is going to be around 3500 a week plus cost of over head we also pay 30% tax on our income also like you guys but if you anticipate 4 week rehab well be ready for minimum of 14k in labor +14knis low end in my opinion... now I'm currently eating my lunch on a rehab from hell but it's gonna be a work of art from where it came from... this was the worst of the worst in my career water damage to all structural raised the roof on a horrible addition and did it correctly.
