Often times there are a lot of recycled lists floating around.  

We had somebody come and get the furniture and clothes to recycle. 

I didn't even want to dig deeper because the stated ROI was too low and the expected rent was too low comparing with the price.I felt that they are trying to milk the "California Buyers" because there are not so many good deals here.

Not to be flip, but did you also offer them a warm glass of milk and a cookie?  

Everyone regurgitates recycled crap Google spits out.

We use smarterqueue to recycle and post our evergreen content.

I'm going to do BRRRR because I want to build a large portfolio of cash flowing rentals as quickly as possible and recycle the same capital over and over.

… Water recycling, rain water capturing systems, gardens and greenhouses for food, solar energy, recycled materials… everything you can do to be “Green”… As far as costs… Yes it does cost more, but I am also told within a reasonable period of time those extra costs come back in the monthly savings.P.S.

Simply sounds like to me the sellers know how to work the system.If you had to move today for a short sale you received no benefit for and then clean the place and then move somewhere else and pay deposits and first months rent it's doubtful the seller has this money.So they have most likely told their agent if we get money to move we will do the short sale but NO if not.Other times the sellers have no intention of selling but list the property to appease the lender to give them more months of free rent not paying the mortgage and then accept and offer to get the lender to give them even more time on top of that to close it.The seller then creates roadblocks to stall the sale.From their perspective they can milk it through foreclosure and wait even a few more months for eviction and get cash for keys.So if they get 3 months more free rent at 1,500 a pop and 5k cash for keys that is almost a 10k benefit for them by NOT doing a short sale.I haven't worked in the residential short sale side for over 3 years.How investors use to handle this and I don't know if they still do it today but they would buy some of the sellers junk for inflated prices with a personal property bill of sale.This got the sellers some cash out of the deal to move.This wasn't illegal years ago but processes and rules have been added since then so don't know if it can be used today.

Then would do the reverse post Winter and check the condition of the window and door screens as well.The elf would call each tenant to negotiate a good time for the on-site maintenance inspections, set the appointments, and post a legal "Notice to Enter" if necessary.At our 8-plex, once a week, the elf would clean the coin-op laundry room and wipe down the w/d machines, walk the premises to check on the tidiness of the grounds, check on the proper use of our garbage dumpster/recycle bins, and water the flower beds, shrubs and landscaping as needed.I would reserve my time and expertise for business financials, for nurturing the tenant-landlord relationship, and also for tenant move-ins and move-outs: advertising, screening, interviewing, showing, contracting, new tenant orientation, etc.
