What if one of us or neither of us has a fax machine to get the contract signed?

The new machine should increase productivity and profits which could be offset against the acclerated depreciation.

I want to know about plumbing problems, but she calls me about things like the temperature of the water during different cycles in the coin washing machine, or another tenant putting her garbage can infront of her garage door, or that her gas bill seems high and I had to explain to her that it is not just the gas stove, but also her water heater.

Another large smoker issue is (like my nightmare tenant's homeless boyfriend) smokers like to smoke RIGHT outside the door with said door open a crack so that all of the smoke blows in, so your house ends up smelling like cigarettes anyway.Then your washing machine starts to smell or get tar buildup in it, eventually.

Have you considered the coin operated machines?

I have went to two of the 3 day weekend "Sales Fest" and have always came away with tons of great networking and even a deal or two and a couple private lenders.Besides the full on sales machine, they do offer some good tips...but BEWARE - they have a VERY good sales process!

Additionally, at some point with the compounding model of adding low cost units, an investor stops being and investor and goes back to becoming a worker bee: a team must be created and actively managed, analysis on dozens if not hundreds of units must be done on an ongoing basis, additional deals must be found and closed, etc.I prefer the appreciation model because there are substantially fewer moving parts in the investment machine. 

Finally, running an ozone machine may help remove any final odors.Because cats consume a high protein diet (causing a very concentrated urea in their urine) it's typically one of the most difficult odors to remove.Gail

Water detector in a) a/c pan, b) water heater pan, and c) behind washing machine which will notify me if there's a leak in these places.
