Lender send funds ( gym bag of cash, check, venmo??)

Being that it was me, I wasn't able to advise myself out of a paper bag.  

Working class, well established neighborhoods with very reasonable tax base, you can get homes under $90,000.00 with taxes in the mid $2's with $1,050+ rents - **PM Me for more detailsI do not play in the lower spectrum of neighborhoods or home prices such as $40-70K with under $1,000.00 rent, just not my cup of tea, I have several homes in my portfolio remaining from that novice/beginner time point in my investment life, but as I have evolved, so have my properties, in category and quality.

A non-legal adivice answer would be a bag or two of ice melt per year is alwasy better than dealing with a slip and fall or auto damage caused by ice. 

Smaller multifamily is a mixed bag.

(like most newbies I figure)So I guess I'll use this time wisely, and continue knowledge building, and hopefully networking.I'd be interested to hear from anyone local to my area, whether flipping, wholesaling, or renting properties.Odd fact: Although raised in England, I drink coffee, not tea!

Not my cup of tea, and I already have a job.

Upon move in, she had a 3 page list of requests.These included new:New vacuum cleaner bags for a vacuum which was already in the house.A wooden strip added to the front door as she thought the gap was too wide.New electrical outlets for the whole house as the existing ones were old.There were some valid requests which I fixed straight away (AC wasn't cooling below 80, one electric outlet wasn't working, washing machine wasn't hooked up properly).When August rent was due, she paid on the 11th and gave me a doctors certificate and said to please forget the late fee.The lease calls for a $75 late fee after the 5th plus $10 per day for every day it's late.

Placing trash bags out to be torn up by dogs, cats, rodents, etc... is usually against code.

(personally not my cup of tea)There are numerous cities in the Midwest that offer a mix of yield vs return.
