Remember IRS does require you to keep receipts and invoices to make sure your not buying personal stuff along with your materials from Home Depot but you can just stuff those in a spot in your wallet and throw them in a shoe box at home when your wallet gets too fat, so you can go back and dig them out if your audited.

Leave that list and a cell phone with a relative or friend who you trust to watch over things while your away.

Especially with Intel coming to Columbus as well as Hyperion, which is a company that makes hydrogen fuel cells.

Mostly, my office is my Ipad and cell phone in the filed wherever I am that day, thus, a mobile office.I have yet to need a physical and seperate from home office.

When I finally got them to answer the door, the wife claimed that the one cell phone she had was a "burner" and her brother or uncle or whoever the random people that they board in there.

She also has a 1k cell bill in collections with Verizon as well as a 2k utility bill in collections.  

Another possible solution is Face timing or Zooming with them on their cell for a virtual walk-thru.

My tenants have my cell number and in 18 years have never had a call about a clogged toilet.  

Yes a lot of people spend frivolously…but in this day and age and in our modern society, internet, a computer, and some type of cell phone (really a smart phone) are really becoming absolute necessities.  

For example,  if they receive SNAP (food stamp) benefit or even a free cell phone service,   that counts as income as well, but I believe that non-housing subsidies don't have to be counted 100% toward rent.
