Washed out all my profits from the last year on evictions and repairs. 

My employees wash their vehicles and muddy equipment every day and they put a massive amount of rocks, nuts and bolts, wood and all sorts of debris into the pump and it never failed one time.Since my pump handles both rain water and the water my employees use to wash their equipment every day I installed a specially made system with electronic valves that makes the water they wash their equipment go into a sediment and filter box and then into the city sewer system and when it rains the electronic valves have a sensor that detects water coming from the roof drain downspouts and valves switch to make the water from the parking lot go into the street.

@Logan M.Depending on your scale of units and issues I would say buy a drain auger 1st if you don’t have one and that seems to fix a mass majority of our issues roots, grease, dipers, ect Now you or a tech would need to learn to use the Machine, they can be dangerous but for us maybe about 2-5 % warrant needing a cam for deeper investigation.

A brokerage's focus, is on the revolving door, putting butt's in seat's and milking the averages because we know 80% will immediately wash-out, of the remained 80% will do little for next few years before also washing out and make us some $, and what's left is our pay-checks. 

When my wife and I had our Airbnb, we thought of it like a hotel: lots of towels, wash clothes, blankets, pillows, well designed, etc.

We wanted to understand best practices, SOPS, and to get a view "under the hood" of Michaels marketing machine. 

Sure...but I bought the stocks back after 31 days to avoid the wash sale rule.

It might be a wash cost wise with much less risk and cost, and it would be a lot easier to sell later.  

and the reason why most newbie Investors I washed out within six months is because they’re sold on just about everything that the Internet throws at them.

And the real volume is conducted by wealthy investors who have the option to build marketing machines and flip, hold, or wholesale deal flow at scale.
