Buy a couple of boxes of black plastic garbage bags, some simple cookware and eating utensiles, and a lock your bedroom door.Then this is what I suggest: Instead of washing their filth, bag it in garbage bags and throw it out.

hi I have simple questionif you are making a list of how to find a buyer before you make a list of properties for salehow do you get on the list of buyersand also what or how do you give that criteria if you are looking at different areasand trying to work out returns against value when value changes dailyyes its better to have buyer before you go looking for a sellerbut for me there is not alot of difference with what I call a bird dogger as tehy do the same they are given a criteria and they then find a product to that requirementwhat I want is a deal that stacks up on the numbers so we can buy and we want as good if not better then our requirements and you don't get taht from a bird doggerif there is a list or lister that will bring properties that are as good or better then our requirements and also wil bring to the table deals that are better anbd higher returnsthen thats the list I want to be on.finding product is not the issue its margin,return,value and growthjust selling a list or just giving a list is not alot of use to me you do have to bring something else to the table inside running and market knowledge.also there are heaps of lists and there is heaps of product yes you need to work with not only ad investor but investor group and syndicatesbecause they don't buy one house they buy multipuls.a small syndicate of say 5 people will buy one house and then another and then another until it has min 5 houses in the group.this is a very small number but a buyer group will buy 100 / 200 housesand a buyer syndicate is the same they just buy 25 lots of 5 for the hundred houses and those 25 might be five states or 25 states and 5 in each.I find real estate will sell a property to a group and never follow up on the next deal if you latch into a group network you can cut your commission but do volume.but with most group if you are not willing to bring some thing to te table you will just sell 1 property as they will find someone else to bring some thing to the table.for me you need to wrap the dealyou need to do as much as possible to assist the group to get to there goal.and the list is but one part and not a big part so for me yes find the buyer but also find what they want and try to bring the deal but also the fries and add into it information and knowledge about the are,taxes, charges even an accountant or legal you work withthey may not use them but you have that in your tool box

That is rule one for the lazy land lord buy small houses it means less work overall,So on to painting If you talk to any experienced old school painter they will tell you that you need to cut in. which is making a border around the ceilings and base boards.this is a very very important step for the lazy land lord because doing this step properly will allow you to use the roller much easier and quickly so you can get home to your couch and the game. but more important it will prevent you from getting paint on the ceilings which will need to be brushed in later brushing in paint on the ceiling is time consuming and tedious so avoiding paint on the ceiling is the lazy landlords first priorityMany old school painters will tell you to get a good cut in brush. but if you are not familiar with painting the cut in brush can take quite a bit of time, to get efficiently good results my solution buy a paint kit that comes with a cut in tool it should look like a rectangular plastic thing a ma jig that has little wheels on one sidethis device allows you to quickly do the border in record time.The secret I found to using this tool is to gently place it on top of your paint so it floats on the surface for about 2 seconds you dont want the wheels getting paint on themjust the applicator I didnt use the pole attachment I think the hand allows more control and gets you up close to the work.
