And not put all your eggs in one basket  ..

Eating healthier, working out and making the right choices.

The things we do the day that falls in between (Tuesday) are tax deductible for my wife and I (1/2 of eating expenses, going to the movies or a baseball game etc.)On Wednesday, the other meeting day, those expenses are deductible for my wife and I because of the meeting.  

This is tough, eats into your margins and normally you'll pay more on your first few projects developing the relationships and it'll get more favorable to you over time.- ACTUALLY does good work.

Never put all of your eggs in one basket. 

Evict them and eat the cost.

Don't eat out, bring your own lunch to work. 

This set back will eat up two years profit.

Now the landlord has to eat the cost of the attorney, it took a month or two longer, probably will raise rents, screen harder and ultimately the vast majority of good tenants get to pay the price.That's why I donate my time to the RPA Rental Property Association of Wisconsin, which is a local non-profit REIA and we lobby in Madison for sustainable landlord tenant laws - if you are a Wisconsin investor, please consider joining.

People need to eat and pay rent.
