Pest Control: Owner handles big problems such as termites etc; tenants keep the place clean to avoid pests.9.

I don't know what market you are looking in, but in California that would mean solar panels, rain barrels, fire sprinklers, etc.

Not only will you save thousands of $$, you will have control over what is going on and avoid getting taken advantage of.

The ones I manage total to 20 bedrooms.These rooms rent for between $125 to $225 per week depending on room size and amenities in the room (beyond basic amenities may include: Desk, Tv, private entry, tenant controlled AC, additional storage).This month after padsplit takes their 14.25% cut of the revenue I am recieving, from the units I own, $15,230 from 3 homes.

👍😊 Hi Richard,If you can see a way to somehow get control of these assets and then recoup some money for the shareholders, please let me know. 

I can't control that. 

Doesn't seem like the FED has much control this time around considering the 10Y T bill (and 5Y) continues to march higher even with the FED fund rate dropping.

I got recertified in the military on my weapon every 6 months and without regular practice and in a controlled environment I still had difficulty with the target.It gives many (not all) people a false sense of security, like they're going to pull out their weapon and go Steven Segal on the situation, when the most appropriate response most of the time is to exit the situation (run/hide/etc).There are reasonable alternatives to carrying a firearm that are at least worth considering for your particular situation. 

Giving someone control over who gets into my property while maintaining responsibility of kicking people out seems a bit risky.

I really want to jump on something within the next year or two because I know the longer I wait the less my portfolio can grow and the longer it will take to reach that financial freedom and being able to take control of my time to be able to do the things I really want to do.
