Personally we found it easiest to buy like 2 dozens sets of all the same color towels and maybe 8 sets of the same color sheets so when one wash cloth got ruined or one flat sheet got stained we could immediately just bring in a new one and the problem was solved.

He decided that the 'landlord business' was very trying for a man of the cloth :)

When I was young and broke and wondering how to take care of a new wife and future kids, the part that was MOST scary, was how do I feed, clothe and care for them.

Cars, home improvements, clothes, restaurants and clubs, nice vacations.

I have plenty of privacy, my own entrance/restroom and all so I will probably continue to do so until I pick up my 4th rental in about 15-18 months or settle down.Ytd my checks come in at an average of nearly $4300/mo if I factor in all of my stipends and extra duty pay and I’m confident that this will continue to grow each school year.My expenses breakdown per month: $250 groceries, $250 set aside for traveling, $400 nights out/dates, $300 clothes (and random amazon stuff lol), $300 gifts/kindness (birthdays for example), $300 bills.

Then out of that cut comes all of the agents fixed and variable expenses like errors and omissions insurance, association fees, MLS fees, health insurance, continuing ed, licensing fees, gas and vehicle expenses, software subscription fees, marketing, laptop, cell phone, clothing (optional), team split, desk fees, photos/cleaning/staging/advertising/signs if they're the listing agent, etc., etc., etc. 

Buying properties on the same site where you can buy used clothes just doesn't sell well with me.

General issue area that I've seen:- Gutters (usually clogged or loose)- Windows (won't open and close)- Door seals (worn out seals, you can see day light)- HVAC check regularly - Vent (dirty)- Under the sink (check for leaks)- Grout (in bathrooms, sometime need to regrout)- Caulk (worn out caulk)- Garbage disposal (rusted, leak or just not working)- Dyer vent (lint could be build up cause fire. the early sign is if clothes not drying properly)- Outdoor trims (usually wood rotten) see if it's need to be paint- bushes or tree too close to the house may need to be remove (roots issue, foundation crack, could be driveway crack too)- wood decking or steps (if you don't seal it, could rotting in faster rate)- smoke detector (old, need replace)- etc (BP member feel free to add) 

Make sure to clean the Unser of the tank where the cloth washers go.

The smoke smell use to stick to clothes if you would work in the house for too long.
