Avoid the temptation to buy used equipment however shiny.  

@Jesus Orbea There have been a lot of great points made on this thread about Hartford so I think you are well equipped with information.

I then give tenant my HVAC guy's card and tell them I don't ever want them to be cold and to directly call the pro who knows the equipment in the future.

(Idk if this is the correct place for this question(do we do a llc or partnership to start the business and get our ein)) and is there start up business loans that we could qualify for with our credit and projected income to buy equipment and other business supplies ?

Purchase price: $100,000 Cash invested: $17,000 This is small building shop that was previously owned by an equipment rental company.

You definitely want the ability to contact the owner of the well AND know that, if there was need, a repair person could access the well equipment in the owner's absence (this is as simple as a key in a lockbox, but the other owner needs to make sure it's there/accessible).  

Some of my military friends are actually coming out of pocket for gym memberships despite having facilities we can use for free with top-notch equipment. 

Meanwhile, the mistakes made while overcoming the learning curve can be expensive.I never said Michael should hire a PM, I simply asked if he was equipped to self-manage.

Im sure it was done to save on installation and equipment costs

Then I went over the list of amenities on VRBO, AirBnB, and Booking.com and bought every amenity within reason so that I had the best equipped house in the area.
