Jon, my plan was to finish drinking my coffee and hit the coin shop on the way to my office this morning.

I'm slow to realize it as it wasn't in my general business plan, but I see that I"m throwing away good referral leads, time, and the coin to get them.

In the days I began in this business an old guy coined the phrase control and roll!

If you have a couple extra dollars at the end of the month, go to a local coin store and buy some silver coins.

But there is the other side of the coin, I can tell you some horror stories too.

Trust me this happens and have caught friends and neighbors using washers/dryers.If your audit does not find the leak, see if you can build out coin-ops in the basement and slowly remove machines from the units.Also regarding the heat and hot water.

However, the latter is probably a better definition for a property that no one has shown any substantive interest in, by other occupying, renting out, paying property taxes for the last year or two, or recently recording a transfer deed or mortgage that would suggest that they do have an active interest.I still prefer the term 'orphan' property that I coined for the "don't wanter" type houses.

Just give me 1 ounce gold coins or 10 ounce and 100 ounce bars of silver.

Side note on laundry, ask that they throw in machines that accept credit or loaded cards if you can in place of or along with coins.

Time to drop a little coin in a marketing campaign.
