We knew we had to replace the operating hardware that is a scissor type arm with the rotating handle.

Anything that does pour in the cash and stuff my wallet, I get this feeling of "What a pain".

If you call a plumber or HVAC guy watch out for your wallet.

(I know why $2, well when I first started every once in a while I would get a $2 bill and one day I only had a $2 bill on me and I used it to tie up a property, After that I would put those bills in my wallet and tell myself I could only use them to tie up property and every time I opened my wallet and there was a $2 bill there that was a reminder and motivation.

I have experienced some of this when I let my onsite maintance guy directly handle tenant calls and some rent collection.I use tech, both software and smart home automation hardware to acts as eyes and ears on the property.

could you reduce the reno (as in paint cabinets/update hardware and maybe skip countertops).

I don't remember the exact cost but I think is is about $40 a month plus the hardware and install.

If you need the cash flow, the longer term will save more money per month for your wallet.

You can buy one at most hardware places for fairly cheap.
