Typically you need 3 lines of credit (cell phone, credit cards, auto loan, etc) to establish credit.

application to take home and fill out).I must confess until this week I have NEVER owned a cell phone (yes; I am an oldie). 

The downstairs tenant then told me that he couldn't record the upstairs tenant being loud, as his phone wouldn't be able to pick it up.My thinking here is that the downstairs tenant just doesn't like the upstairs tenant and wants him out, as any cell-phone today would be able to pick up loud stomping or a screaming match if it's keeping my downstairs tenants awake.So, short story long, I examined the damage to the door frame and concluded it was caused by the downstairs tenant pounding on the door and am planning on sending him a bill for the damage.

I keep a log of gas used, mechanic bills for car, cell phone bill, partial meals if you're talking business, etc.  

Does anyone take property pics with their cell phone as opposed to a digital camera??

I made a huge mistake giving them my cell phone number too.

There are meters that send a signal using cell phone towers (note that now you will need either battery or power at the meter) and others that use other wireless spectrum for reading.

I concluded after paying ~$500 in city fines I could have mowed all my houses for a majority of the year for the same price (internalizing the cost and providing a value-add service to my properties).So starting in 2014 I contracted to have a basic lawn cutting done 2x a month for something like $20 a house and felt I really had a good benefit for my tenants (DID I MENTION THIS WAS A FREE SERVICE)...one house in particular decided that if I was mowing for them then I had better be edging and bush trimming and proceeded to call my cell phone (back when I gave that out to tenants, ah the good-old-days) telling me that the lawn crew left clumps of grass in the yard and didn't rake leaves from under the bushes.

I have a land line (home phone) at home but I also have a cell phone that people can reach me at all times, do I still need a land line at home? 

Even in this day of cell phones, Blackberry's and all the other stuff that makes it impossible to get away from people who we don't want to talk to!
