That way, it is less likely for someone's food to get stolen, AND when a roommate moves out, we can just sweep their whole shelf into the trash.Also, we provide all shared supplies (toilet paper for shared bathrooms, dish soap, trash bags, etc).

Transfer the bags from the bins in the backyard into a big black contractor bag from Home Depot.

good faith blah blah... we did.Then the real kick in the bean bag... the NEWER (2012) of the 2 hot water heater's  gas control died. 

The rest of the properties are safe each in their own independent protected series in their own safe ziplock bag protected. yes this "plenitude of law" I mention is called  hire a lawyer to do legal research for you and give you a legal memo.

(takes only 5-10 min per door) I then put all the locks I removed in a ziplock bag on a shelf and reuse them eventually. 

Then these gurus will pack up their bags and sit on their millions on a tropical island...right?

If not I will ride it out for 5 more and bag it at 60.I love the opportunity and I love being a landlord- but if I can trade what I work for now for real passive income- no brainer.

Few weeks later I see a beautiful Benz parked in front of the house with a big "for sale open house" sign on it so I go in and talk to the guy and ask him how he did it and his answer was: "Easy, I showed up with a bag of cash in my hand."

If you want to do some kind of hybrid model you potentially could do that and bill back utilities, but I think that puts you more at risk of holding the bag if something goes wrong....like you expect rent on the 1st, you bill them back $400-$500 for last month's utilities and then they don't pay either.
