Either way, bring a bag of popcorn and a cooler of drinks and enjoy getting your house back.

I was left holding the bag, and had to get the re-wiring done, and because the utility was involved, get it inspected, the whole nine yards.

My tenants expected me to leave cleaning supplies and trash bags as well (SRO building).

I have "Sell or Be Sold" on my desk right here as I type, another "10X Rule" in my bag on the chair.

Whenever the market does change there are going to be some people stuck holding the bag especially if their margins are slim.

I Started rehabbing in 2000 with almost no help from the internet even though I had been online since 1993 (just my mentioning of Compuserve and American Online authenticates my historical context :) ) - Thought REI was about rehabbing as I was taking my earnings from computer networking (a final frontier before REI imo) and plunging it into rehabs but couldn't seem to financially justify living off of it until I found CRE in 2002-2003.

I have been nothing but professional and courteous with her, as I enforced the rules of our written lease.On one hand, I think "I'm the professional" and should not dignify her conduct by responding at all, while the other side of me does not want to set a precedent where she can use me as a verbal punching bag during her residency.Another piece of information that might be germane is her unit it totally trashed (she has lived there for 10 years) and would take about $6k to turn it over.
