No better way to learn than bugging and bagging someone that is on a current flip :))

A couple of towns I am in require overflow bags at $2 each, but I do not believe that is my responsibility.

Easy budget items to save for your next rental are brewing your own coffee, brown bagging your lunch and avoiding malls and car payments.

It reminds me of the landlord next to one of my properties, I see him out there once and a while pickign through the tenants trash, gloves and face mask on, opening trash bag after bag, pickign out the various cans and recyclables, so proud of himself and all the $ "those tenants are just throwing away".

But only time will tell though. 50-100 years ago if you wanted to be a financier or an industrialist or a lawyer, etc, you packed your bags and went to NYC (hence the long term high prices even pre-tech).

I decided to wait 15 more minutes then drive the 3 hours home.. well they showed up at 3:14 I hoped in their Caddy drove them by the lots I wanted to sell them they picked 2 without getting out of the car would pay cash.. ( I got 15% commish for cash sales) so two lots 7k  1% a little over 1k in income and drove home.. so had about 6 hours of drive time 3 hours of wait time so I calculated I made about 100 dollars an hour on those folks.. when my last job was bagging groceries at 1.65 and hour.. and a great job was 10 bucks an hour..

Start filling up both bags and hope one does not run out before the other.

As far as actual construction goes, it's a very mixed bag right now in terms of what subcontractors feel comfortable working.

Trash bags, dish soap, etc.

I noticed that phonebooks were delivered about 2-3 weeks ago, so any still outside (in bright yellow bags) is a pretty good sign that people aren't around.
