I get well more than my share of abuse from the big guy.

I help people with substance abuse and behavioral issues get their lives back on track.

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

The second clause is important because tenants often abuse utilities when they are included in the rent.

Actually it IS cheap if it helps you REALLY get started making money in real estate - and that kind of professional is MUCH less expensive than a $25,000 weekend course which features a bus trip with a smelly long-haired burned-out reality TV star.And you don't want to give 50% of your profits for the next 20 years to some info-marketer based in Phoenix.  

DF was spirited for the systematic abusers, not mom and pop., So they gave the states that exemption clause ability.

After pretty much throwing away $15,000 on "Rich Dad Poor Dad"/"Tigrent" real estate investing courses, I found I actually learned something useful from Mike Wolf's investing tours and they are definitely not a scam.One of Mike's deals is that if you take one of his US investing tours you get him as a mentor for life and I have definitely used and abused that benefit.  

For example, near a college campus 5 blocks away is walking distance, but 10 blocks likely means a bus ride.Put yourself in the tenant's shoes and decide what's too far and what's not.
