These cannot be elective procedures such as plastic surgery, but can be things like smoking cessations programs, dental work, laser eye surgery, braces for children, etc.6.  

Use a laser level to work out what needs jacking and by how far, then spend a week or two getting under the house and getting the house level again.Professionally done you are talking thousands of dollars, do it yourself and you are talking peanuts, maybe a couple of hundred in new adjustable pillars.This is the sort of thing that puts people off, and it's why people pay professionals.

Usually related to the car in the driveway, and any other toys...I recently looked at a house that cost just $40,000, with a renter in place.

Nothing else matters at this point, life doesn't end regardless of your decision.For myself I am a poor landlord, I only make a bit north of $100,000 per year so I need positive cash flow to buy groceries, pay for my cottage, buy my toys and take 2 or 3 Caribbean vacations a year. 

The property had to pay a person every week go out and pick up chicken bones,poop, and demolished toys.

Folks lived off of unemployment as long as they could, they sold off all their toys like 4 wheelers, campers, guns, snowmobiles, etc. 

Maybe a coloring book/crayons if they have kids, a chew toy if they have a dog, etc.  

As if tenants were dial up toys that crank out money for you.  

As my mentor told me, you should write down goals and be laser focused on them.

We all feel like that sometimes, I'm an engineer and I have to explain to people that you can't pound in a face mill into a ER32 collet chuck in a $150k laser tool setter with a mallet
