I haven't done my tally for the job yet but I spent well under $1000 in consumables and that was inside and out, 5 colors.

You can use a collection service company that can report for a fee.Bill,It has been our experience that the service companies do not charge for collecting the tenant payment information - it has a business value to them, so I've just presumed they are glad to get it w/o paying for it.Naturally, we do get charged when we pull a credit and rental history report ... so landlords give the information for free and then later pay to consume it :)

Whenever the government forces issues like this it is bad for the consumer.

I for one like my cash to work hard and not just sit in the bank or be consumed with lifestyle.

On average when the landlord pays tenants will consume about 30% more water etc.

Anything outside of the above is simply not true at all.A license is required when the public is involved, this is a function of consumer protection.

No outstanding consumer collections over $250?

It really enhances the networking and interaction experience.

These 3 big credit companies run the credit business today for personal consumers and borrowers like yourself. eventually if you decide to go into business and do commercial real estate you might want a Dun and Bradstreet score as well.

I would definitely recommend you stay active on the forums and site (you will be surprised at how much and how quickly you can learn about REI) and please consider adding a profile picture, it really enhances the community interaction.
