Every summer since I was 7, I went to work with my old man and learned the fine etiquette of saw dust, hammers, nails, and good old power tools.

I see a lot of commercial types that sprinkle "pixie dust" over a spread sheet.

Probably made of sawdust.

I'm lucky that most of my properties have sprinkler systems, so it's set it and forget it for the tenants.In the last two years, I've only had to call and remind someone about cutting/sprinkling the lawn once.

Not trying to scare or be a pessimist but just a little sprinkle of realty.

A good mix of older, small homes with large, new properties sprinkled in.

Here, such units are required to be sprinkled, fire systems too.

Ours is an entrepreneurial club primarily for networking with a light sprinkling of education and practical, mutual problem-solving thrown in the mix.

Sprinkle in some Lonnie deals and lease options for 2-3yr passive income all the while searching for 10 buy & holds for retirement.

We are only looking for ourselves- not doing an inspection for anyone else.Is it as easy as looking for "sawdust" and sticking a screwdriver in rotted wood or does anyone have a few other tips?
