He had just divorced from his 4th wife and was sleeping on my couch.  

You can't just go buy a few couches and have them look good in every house.

Have a stage and an open mic at whatever time for free value gives.

If you're new and haven't reached out to more experienced investors for guidance, then now is the time to get off the couch and take action!

Beer/wine on the couch rather than out at the Bar. 

The homeowners literally abandoned the home and left so many things from the couch, pots & pans, canned foods, clothing, and a litterbox full of poop.  

Understand locals in those areas will scoop those up first and are not going to sell to some dude on his couch in LA without a very nice price mark up.

Our one daughter was living in a 4br/1 ba house over on Fort Avenue and paying 450.00 for the room, which I felt was overpriced( she was renting month to month so she was paying a premium for that) however when the landlord rented out one of the small rooms to 2 girls and there very mean dog and then had another person sleeping on the couch( 6 people, one dog. ..4br ,1 bath)  I thing the landlord paid about $90,000 for the house.

@David Couch you are absolutely correct I know I'm not a painter and I can more effectively spend my time doing things that I'm good at and I believe in treating people with respect for what they do and paying them fairly.
