All changes MUST be in writing.

Focus on durability over bells and whistles—tenants prioritize functionality and reliability.

Steadily has their own product (with multiple writing companies) and then they offer policies through other carriers just as an independent agency would. 

If the age of your equipment is older, or it stops functioning, those repairs can also add up.

You’re going to have to find a specialized function that can’t be farmed out to the Philippines in the $5-$10/hr range.

I have recently started writing down addresses of run down or abandoned properties that I would like to purchase, but I only have the owner's name.

It can get pretty expensive what would anyone suggest or should I write the lease so that the next tenant depending on time of year should I do not include a specific utility and adjust my rent because of it ? 

All this just to hopefully cashflow a few hundred $$ a month, doesn't seem worth it.Lately, I am really leaning on just investing in REIT's like Realty Income (o). as I write this Realty Income is at $57.75 paying $0.264 monthly dividend.  

I don't like AI descriptions (sorry @Andrew Steffens).They look and sound completely like it was written by a bot, which it was.I like to write my own copy for listings and I respond directly to all guests, inquiries and issues.

Fees should be clearly stated in writing, easy to understand, and justifiable.
