If not providing a washer and dryer can be a big incentive for applicants.Anyway...my days of hauling appliances I purchase from craigslist are long over.   

These come with a sealed battery; tenants cannot remove them the next time little Johnny gets a toy for his birthday or Christmas that needs a battery and the traditional smoke detector is the nearest "store" to pull one out of.Enjoy the books.Gail

I have been toying around with idea of switching to landlord insurance in hopes in my cover us better as well as possibly lower our insurance cost in our escrow.

If you get tired of it or its gone past the point of repair haul it off to scrap.

when we thought we were close to emptying we found under the porch full too , hahaha . it never ended . found some photos from nazi germany, bayonet's , hitler stamps...... also they started a rock and minerals club and we hauled about 3 tons of stones too . i guess it all worked out , because i now have another hoarder house with over 50,000 books !

@Deborah BurianWould love to connect with you, I have toyed with the idea of investing in Ok.

I can relate to the amount of trash that you had to haul away.

Yes, it would include removal of trees, grinding every stump and haul away everything.

I live closer to Aledo and Benbrook and Dallas is quite a haul for a meetup that I would rarely be able to make.

@Yolanda Salas thanks this information helps a lot, When you say Property Manager do you recommend I use them for the long haul or just temporary until I get all my ducks in a row?
