Reserve cabinet in kitchen for each room and set a schedule for clean up.. rotate chore chart, like week 1 ,,room one does bathrooms, room 2 does all vacuuming, room 3 all trash out to curb, room 4 mowing and rotate.. 

Need someone who is willing to schedule showings for the properties I find for a whole day at a time.

At the top.Yes, I pre-screen.There is a company website, a computerized showing scheduler, online application-nothing mom and pop looking here.

I recently ran across a similar court case where the IRS took issue with this (thought I think the facts are slightly different).If it's a single member LLC, what business activity code would you choose on Schedule C when you report the income?

I was in great shape and that was 2 days before I was scheduled for preventive surgery.  

I have a property that the seller wants 60K on a land contract with 20k down at 6% and a 5 year balloon on 30 year amortization schedule.

Check out the MIG schedule and get on @James Wachob mailing list for his monthly networking evenings.  

I will often replace these bigger items at turnover simply because it is so much easier than doing it when a tenant is in there (think scheduling, moving their items, disruptions, etc).Best of luck in bulletproofing your rentals!

In some markets there is a scheduling fee, that is charged to hold an appointment after one has been made, but it should only be about $50  But that should be between you and the inspector and have nothing to do with the Realtor! 

Here’s what I mean:If you are using a Schedule C in your personal tax returns there are 4 important items to be aware of when a bank calculates your income.Schedule CDepreciation (Line 13/14) – can be added BACK as income Business Use of Home (Line 30) – can be added BACK as incomeVehicle Miles (Line 44A) – can be added BACK as incomeUn-allowed Meals and Entertainment (Line 24B) – is subtracted FROM your incomeSo if your Schedule C taxable income is $0 (line 31) but your depreciation is $10,000 then your actual income is $10,000!
