Condo owners typically do not shovel snow, take out the garbage to the curb, sweep the halls, etc.

My definition of retirement is having enough income to pay all my bills/expenses without clocking into a W-2.The rentals require management, which I do myself, and if I want to experience more—say travel the world, or buy a nice car or a giant clawfoot tub for my wife—I have to find more cash to fit those things in the retirement budget.As for an account that pays for occasional repairs, if you can find it, there are companies who will give you HELOC Sweep accounts on as many as three properties combined.

As you in prove yourproperty and start raking and sweeping the curb and gutters. 

Originally posted by @Justin Phillips:@Giovanny Vizcarra I would highly recommend looking at a First Position HELOC loan that’s tied to a ZBA (Zero Balance Sweep account).

The one my wife and I have set up on our property is tied to a zero-balance-sweep checking account that sweeps all activity directly towards our remaining balance.

Be sure to hire an inspector, do any secondary inspections recommended (i.e. roofing, chimney sweep, etc.)Confirm taxes, utilities, insurance, etc. 

@Brian Kuti sweeping questions but love the intent.  

Hire a cleaning person to come in immediately after the contractor finishes and sweep and disinfect anything that gets messed up. 

and not a lot of defect IE sweep split tops etc. 

Offer to pick up materials for him or sweep the floors every night or take pictures of progress and send him updates.
