Would love to have someone to swap stories and lessons with someday. 

The companies told us that some larger higher end buildings would swap our their machines every couple of years for new units. 

Whatever it is, he gets it at closing after you've inspected that the house is still standing and is broom clean, and like a prize, he must be present at closing to win.... while you all are there signing papers and swapping checks,  you're having someone change all the locks. 

He pro-rates for smaller jobs, but I havent used him for smaller jobs.I usually "swap" services for actual landscaping of a property, since I am an electrician.

You can defer all of your income tax liabilities through out your lifetime by continuing to 1031 exchange (its what we call swap until you drop) and then your heirs receive a step-up in basis upon your death.

Because if your goal is freedom, the last thing you want to do is be swapping out toilets on Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve when your tenant's kid flushes a toy down the commode. 

The replacement parts are $20 so I choose just to swap them out annually (they last 3 years or so on average). 

I use the $75 kwikset 909 in all my AirBnbs and have never had a problem (as long as your property manager changes the batteries).https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N...EDIT: I also swap the locking knobs from the front doors with the hall/closet knobs within the house that I want to turn into owner's closets.

I also recommend swapping water and energy hungry fixtures(notably, the toilet and showerheads and any incandescent or swirly bulbs) to water and energy efficient counterparts.

Let's get together, share our stories, swap business cards and make more deals happen for everyone.
