State should install cameras in bathroom stalls and watch what you do while you are inside a public restroom.

I have many corporate and high-value tenants that do this.We hold advance rent in escrow, and we treat it as a deposit, then we release installment payments when that months' rent is called due. 

Get to know people in the various trades (plumbers, electricians, carpenters, painters, siding installers.)

I just installed gas heating systems in 2 buildings and we’ve probably had to go into each unit 25 times during the course of the install and the inspections that followed.

Updating the interior is costing me $63,000 for demo, installation, and materials.

Reminder:Ground improvements qualify for bonus depreciation.This includes various landscaping.Roads and external parking areas.Sidewalks and pathways.Fences.Utility systems (including the installation or improvements to water, sewage, drainage, and electrical systems).Outdoor lighting.Rec facilities (like playgrounds, sports courts, and swimming pools).And more.It's a big category for depreciation/bonus depreciation that we love.

Pex is also much easier to install and requires less access. 

It really is not hard to install submeters in most cases.

Tankless WH cost has dropped significantly, they tend to last longer and are less prone to leaks but the initial switch might require upgrading the gas line with potential higher installation price tag.

Be careful out there....some of the new builds are not comparable to the old builds....many of the newer ones are all siding, no brick, no light fixtures or ceiling fans...just LED recessed lighting...no doorbell, no garage door opener, no attic stairs, one piece tubs, vs tiled baths, no landscaping, no trees, and on and on....they've taken out virtually every single cost.
