Mary lou L. Hitting it hard in your 40s +
9 March 2016 | 49 replies
@Mary lou L.I'm 54 yrs old.My father passed away when I was 21 and my brother was 20.Parents had some properties that we had to tend to.We  1031 exchanged some into other properties.Bought personal homes and then rented them out after moving on.Didnt get real serious about building wealth until 2006.I was 45 yrs old then, realizing retirement yrs were right around the corner.We accelerated real estate investment to retire comfortably.Accumulated 8 more rentals,flipped some,and started private lending.Yes I wish we were more aggressive in our 20's and 30's.But we didn't have anyone or BP to to teach us what or how to do it and why it was important.Lord knows our educational system did not teach us about wealth building for retirement.We learned it ourselves and and a lot of times it was the hard costly way.So in order to keep history from repeating itself we are consciously trying to educate our children and other youngsters  on the importance of financial literacy and the implementation of that knowledge.Father time stops for no one and doesn't care how you spend your life.It's up to us to create our financial future no matter what age we start.Good luck to all us old farts and young farts.

Tim G. Tenants Not Getting Along, Need to Limit Laundry Access Afterhours
15 December 2013 | 9 replies
They might have done the laundry at 9pm but didn't make it to the dryer to collect until 11:01pm and now they have no access, and if it's a uniform they need to put on the next morning for work at 7am they might call you at 11:30pm to ask you to unlock so they can get at it.Personally I would have a talk to the late hour laundry tenant and get a better understanding on why the late hours before implementing any policy, and find out from the other tenant who complained what is the objectionable noise was it the washer agitating, was it the quick pressure draining of the water, was it the dryer buzzing when done etc...to make sure there isn't a solution before implementing a policy or a lock.Sometimes when tenants don't get along there is an underlying reason and what they complained about are the petty stuff that annoyed them but not the real reason.if you limit access you might find you are just transforming one problem into another and you now have tenants that don't get along because they are trying to do laundry at the same time.
