Step-increases only prolong the inevitable, and leave tenants thinking you are just trying to nickle and dime them every few months.

Sounds like they spent every dime (like they said) but didn't get to do all the things they wanted to do.I guess I would just feel a bit sorry for them.

There is a very good chance you won't get a dime more.than what you already have with the deposit.

If they want to have the central A/C serviced to see if performance can improve, that would be on their dime.

They're just trying to get a new roof on your dime (or the insurance company's dime).

All without a dime out of their pocket. but they are experienced and we trusted them with our funds. 

I plan on putting 20% down on two 4 unit buildings soon that rent for $625 a unit, and then I plan on saving every dime I can, I already mostly do, and purchase a duplex with cash due to not being able to get any more mortgages due to high DTI, after the duplex purchase, I will take all of the cashflow and pay down the 2 4plexes and I should have those paid off by the end of 2023 or so, and I will be fairly debt free (I house hack a duplex that has a mortgage) while owning 1 duplex and 2 4 unit buildings free and clear.

I've been poor myself and didn't much like it, but I never took a dime I didn't earn from the government or anyone else.

He loaned his daughter a LOT of money for her education, move to the west coast, etc and never charged her a dime.

Hi BP,I'm curious as to what you all would do if you knew you didn't have to spend a DIME on your marketing budget for wholesaling (this includes letters and postage)?
