So for example yesterday they were putting up doors throughout the house and I looked at the master bathroom and it struck me that a panel door was all wrong and it would hide the vanity or that you would have to close the bathroom door to wash your hands or just use the vanity so we changed the idea of how we wanted that to look or how the door would swing.

If so, was he sleeping on the balcony so that the repairs interrupted his lifestyle?

But then again if you claim that as an expense i guess you have to also claim it as profit since your paying it to yourself so that might end up a wash but maybe not because it's going into a 401k and not you another post-tax account. 

Other than that, just freshen it up like Matt Pritchard said.On the outside looks like main thing would be getting the vegetation off the house and a good pressure washing.

So my girl friend is disgusted that we will have to use these units to wash and dry our bedding, clothes, etc.

The only difference will be $700.00 in cash flow tied up in a five year old fridge that looks just like the $100.00 one down the street at habitat for humanity.I buy used commodes and pressure wash them and then install them.

Wash is getting better for sure but it is a higher crime area and not really comparable to the Duquesne Heights part of Mt.

If one guy is "strongly into REI" does he get a cheaper buy in, or bigger share because of his expertise.In your shoes, I'd ask Mom how much she wants a week, and do more than my share of chores, wash her car etc.

Find a good local collection agency.I work with one that does everything for me - files the detainer and gets them out and then collects on the judgement.They take 33% but as far as i'm concerned thats found money to me anywayAlways remember if they are not paying rent they are stealing from you.None of the BS washes with me now i've been doing this for a few years. the only thing you can do is evict.people always have the option of finding an additional part-time job, but choose not to for their own reasons.

In great interior condition, just needs to be washed/mopped and install a washer/dryer.
