It was like a 300 lb weight was lifted off my shoulders. 

I do not want to look over my PM's shoulders and micromanage, at all.

REFER THIS CLIENT or find a broker who is willing to co-broker with you that will let you look over their shoulder.

SomePeople may not think to get what we used and take a cheaper route - shoulder shrug. 

They still need the retirement funds and I shoulder all the work and risk since it is my business and my credit supporting the properties.  

You are correct in that by providing the washer/dryer you are taking responsibility for the repairs as well as shouldering an increased water use (which you probably pay for).I use a lease addendum so that tenants need my permission to have their own W/D. 

Seems like a great spot to rub shoulders with other people in the industry! 

Give them the option and let them shoulder the cost of renovation.

Then I did a coffee & donut run for my guys working on an addition & the coffee shop was teeming with young millennials shoulder to shoulder on laptops doing their homework/assignments ON-LINE etc because they closed the schools to avoid passing's on Covid-19!!!

Because you are the one who chooses to take on extra responsibility and own a home instead of rent, does not mean that you should shoulder these problems as well.
