Big ticket would be the water heater or something under the foundation.

We probably spend more time driving to each house than actually mowing.Heres the thing, I'm a very hands-on landlord, it gives me an excuse to go onto the property, wander round the yard and check on anything I can check from outside the house (like leaks under the house etc).

My experience this go-round has been the complete opposite so far.Thanks, @Karen Margrave, for the meetup suggestion!

Looking to purchase SF rentals in the Round Rock area in the near future.

Technically, you may get away with referencing P.I., lot's of people get excited to see ID info getting pushed about without their consent.

Around here, you can't get away with charging for carpet damage if the carpet is older than three years, for example. 

I grew up in East Flatbush/Canarsie so I really wanted to get away and have something different and most importantly be very close to a subway.  

If I did this, I would tell the tenant no more escape tickets and I would NOT hesitate to start eviction as soon as the tenant falls behind again.Key points - I would do this only if the tenant owed me a lot (my mistake for letting it happen), if I could OWN the items (not hold) AND I was prepared to act quickly as soon as they fell behind again (they will).

Anyone have luck cash flowing in Round Rock, Pflugerville, Leander, Cedar Park, Georgetown?
