I do my own maintenance right now (did my remodel on my own as well), but I'm currently looking for a handyman so that I won't always need to do it myself, especially as I grow my business.I tried all the listing sites initially, but then paired down to VRBO only.

That, paired with the unstable industry I'm working in, has driven me to think about ways to increase my passive income.

Just get the extra ring and pair of washers (same as the tank to floor ones) when you buy the toilet.      

MikeGreat advice from Curt above,A few big cons IMO are: currency (For example the Aussie $ was $1.20 no too long ago and now its $0.80 on the USD), bank account set up (Patriot act issues) and delays with paperwork due to time zone differences.Pros, well that's easy lolGreat value, great net returns and although it mind sound corny its a once in a lifetime opportunity IMO.I definitely wouldn't be freezing my a.. in Ohio if I didn't believe this to be the case.Its summer and surfs up in Sydney hahahaThanks

A while  back I helped a couple buy a pair of adjacent duplexes.

Hi @Nathan Lehmer,I made a fairly extensive post a few months ago with the top 15 things or so that you might want to know about pairing a VA loan with 2-4 unit real estate. 

It appears you have less than 10 financed properties, so boom pair that down payment with residential 30 year fixed rate financing for your next purchase(s).Make sure that when you do your Schedule E on your taxes next year, you are accurate with "fair rental days."

Improving infrastructure, short term (4 to 5 years) growth potential, tax free income, currency being pegged to the dollar, are some of the pros of investing in Dubai.

Get into the crawl space to the attic, get it opened up and put live trap inside,,, babies will be here soon it's spring.you should set live traps inside, and outside .. keep area clean of garbage and make sure the garbage cans have secure lids.check the traps daily once you've caught them you will have more than 1, I guarantee it they come and go in pairs or 3's... then seal up the hole with wood...
