the cops in your low-rent areas know you're just checking your properties and not out cruising for crack or some 'ho......

I'll rent a bus and ship them your way!

I got an email that this course is on sale through tonight at midnight for 99.97 plus shipping.

Nationwide let's not forget flag burning.Those issues are about as important as wondering how to arrange deck chairs on a sinking ship.

and he mentioned mailers with Tylenol in it (or something that is safe to ship).Your property giving you a headache?

I bought 1000 biz cards for $22 total - that includes the shipping.

We are up to 30 units now, so even a $20 gift card plus travel and time OR shipping is $650 plus.Cards alone with stamps is not anywhere near as expensive, maybe $50 - but the time investment should be considered.We have been pondering the benefits of such actions, other than making us feel good.In line with the thinking of some others who have already posted - we spent almost $100k this year in upgrades to our properties: roofs, steps, porches, total rehabs, outside painting, new entry doors, new heating systems (9 units), new trash cans.

Because if you aren't, you are cruising for a bruising.

Here's something of interest I recently discovered:When yellow pages called to renew and I said I was reducing the size of my ad they offered me a discount.....When I called my TV cable provider to say I needed to save money and how could they help -- they offered me a discount.....When I called my subscription coffee service (that's right - I'm an ADDICT) to cancel -- they offered free shipping and handling.....Times are tough out there for everyone.

We have to replace 21 of these operators that are all broken beyond repair.We're now realizing that these things are averaging $60 each to replace not including shipping.
