That duplex is in Euclid, OH. and you need to replace big ticket items occasionally. 

An occasional hot water tank, dishwasher, or garage door opener.  

There is no free lunch in anything real estate related.. other than getting very lucky occasionally.

Hi,I just started selling off my rentals, and in doing so I have to employ a team of workers to fix up the houses, nothing crazy, but people are working on ladders and occasionally using saws. 

I write offers on 8-10 a week from HUD/VA and the occasional fair market offering.

I own a small apartment building and looking to find someone who can take on occasional jobs, such as units turnovers and some relatively standard type maintenance work.

I'm working on getting mine but I occasionally debate with myself on its value considering that I really don't want to get seriously into sales since I already have a full time job.. 

So far that has worked well for me and saved me a lot of time I will still get the occasional no show but for the most part that is the exception. 

They did tell me in advance that their daughter will sleep over occasionally and she is not on the lease.
