The tenants have been good but one day I received a call on Christmas Eve about the toilets backing up...Total sewer replacement for 6k 😢.

If it is in eve, after 6pm I could host at our commercial building's conference room.

Hi Eve, I'm glad you're learning from the local landlords. 

Now granted a large chunk of that is principal but if your roof lasts just one year, you are cash flow ahead to wait.We don't get near as much rain here as you do but it's my experience that roofs leak around the edges like flashing and eves.

I talked to the city police who frequented the property and they said that the piles of garbage were as high as the eves of the roof.  

We had one come all the way from our front wall and lodged sticking out the back wall of the house on Christmas eve 1961.

Biggest issue that stuck out was on the back corner of the home there was damage to the roof from where a tree limb has hit and punctured through the eve.  

When I say that’s all that I do, let me tell you what to expect in the life of a landlord and all that they do. 3 am Christmas Eve Tenants call-Furnace went out.I get up, phone calls made, emergency call, expensive triple overtime to the Heating Contractor, Tenant has heat.

@Steve L.Probably aren't getting a lot of response on this because its very unique to a lot of guys - and some of us are delusional enough to think we have some kind of secret sauce that we're not willing to share.Also some of the metrics can be painful to look at (revisiting this on a Friday eve is somewhat of a weekend buzzkill :( I have a background in stats and data, so I track a lot some is super useful, other is just gee-whiz.  

Meetup on Wed eve in SF FiDi for whoever wants to come!
