But I take your point.You are also right about rehabbing an empty place versus working around a tenant's stuff and with them looking over your shoulder.

I already feel a major weight off my shoulders.

Since then the idea to go into Real Estate has really been tapping me on the shoulder. 

I think one guy I know who has a good head on his shoulders is @Dan Coleman.  

He has a good head on his shoulders and a great work ethic.

I would not just be shrugging my shoulders in an aw shucks, we'll still close matter.  

Looks like you have a good head on your shoulders and it was a pleasure reading your experience.  

Beware of fakes and frauds, Liston to the little man on your shoulder "the voice in your head" he is usually right.  

It would be nice to have not only everything new, but add a nice selling feature for tenants, but I'd need to find out how much "not that much more" will be after he gets me the quote.We added central air to a 175K BTu 95%AFUE gas furnace which was essentially a heat-pump core and drainage tray installed in the plenum of the air-handler with the compressor outside  We only use it for central air, but have the option of using it for heat in the shoulder seasons (gas and electricity are comparable in price here).  

we allow pets, just not 8 breeds, which is set by the insurance.we charge $25 extra per pet per month in addition to 250 cleaning fee.some dont charge anything, but those are desperate landlords, with crappy units.it seems to me that all tenants have to have pets. they can't afford their own housing, so they go ahead and make it harder on themselves by adding more weight on their shoulders - higher rent and pet bills. makes perfect sense to me!
