Ironically, she was checking out Tenant Cloud and trying to sell me on it.

No more galvanized water pipes and cast iron drains.   

Once I have good tenants in, they usually renew their lease because of the difficulty in finding another apartment that will allow pets.Bottom line: increased income for me, less vacancy rates for my rentals, at the cost of ensuring that my tenant-screening and lease are both iron-clad (or as close as I can get).

We are constantly dealing with slow drains up there because it's all old cast iron sewers.

Beyond 1000, it should be pretty ironed out.

Be sure to email me if you bid on anything there so we are not driving the price up on each other LOL one thing to be aware of is the plumbing, as it is all cast-iron from the 70s and it is all rotten and full of holes.

If you hang onto the stock, that is only a paper loss and doesn't count.Again, real estate is beautiful: we get to take paper losses caused by depreciation without selling the asset, while ironically the value of the asset is probably going up each year instead of down.

Ironically, as I write this, we're having the worst 2-week snow storm ever, some say.

We ended up with foundation issues, disintegrated cast iron, aluminum wiring that needed to be replaced with copper wiring, blowing insulation into the attic, sheetrock repair.

So I've got a few things stacked against me. however I will figure it all out and iron out the kinks.
