The most important thing that I teach our Wholesalers is that You are only as good as your "rolodex" (ancient cardboard (papyrus) device that stored names and phone numbers;-) Now replaced by "contacts" list on iPhones).Here's the goal: When you walk to your car from getting an agreement signed by a Seller you must be able to call at least two Buyers that can take you out of your contract for a fee!

That is rule one for the lazy land lord buy small houses it means less work overall,So on to painting If you talk to any experienced old school painter they will tell you that you need to cut in. which is making a border around the ceilings and base boards.this is a very very important step for the lazy land lord because doing this step properly will allow you to use the roller much easier and quickly so you can get home to your couch and the game. but more important it will prevent you from getting paint on the ceilings which will need to be brushed in later brushing in paint on the ceiling is time consuming and tedious so avoiding paint on the ceiling is the lazy landlords first priorityMany old school painters will tell you to get a good cut in brush. but if you are not familiar with painting the cut in brush can take quite a bit of time, to get efficiently good results my solution buy a paint kit that comes with a cut in tool it should look like a rectangular plastic thing a ma jig that has little wheels on one sidethis device allows you to quickly do the border in record time.The secret I found to using this tool is to gently place it on top of your paint so it floats on the surface for about 2 seconds you dont want the wheels getting paint on themjust the applicator I didnt use the pole attachment I think the hand allows more control and gets you up close to the work.

I found out that the upper cabinet was ready to fall off, the microwave handle was melted and broke off, there was an ant infestation and a rodent infestation, the backdoor has been broken down once which was simply glued back together and used again, the bathroom was moldy and grout falling out which created more mold, and I didn’t find this last one out until after I left but every single fire detector was broken, which is serious because being a firefighter too many people have died from such a useful device that is required by law.
