My wife and I are on a farm this summer, we take breaks from the city occasionally.

I like to keep abreast of what's going on from a tenant perspective by occasionally reading the Tenants Union of Washington State website.

Barring turnover, most of our properties need less than one hour a month, mostly via telephone communication, but occasionally, a repair here or there. 

She trusts us to handle everything and our only communication is the occasional request for permission to handle maintenance.

Rather than renovate the properties, Motil allegedly used investor money to make Ponzi payments to previous investors and for his own extravagant personal expenses, including to rent a lakeside mansion, purchase courtside season tickets to NBA games, and make $400,000 in credit card payments for his wife, Amy Motil, who is named as a relief defendant.

Someone needs to be available to deal with the staff and doctors and occasional emergencies.

That outdated business model no longer works but good luck to you.Pssst, don't tell anyone, but I still do them occasionally.

I have good photos, but I occasionally get the comment that the photos don't do it justice.

I have mixed view points on tax payer money funding private sector loans and the overall health of it, but I do still use them occasionally and have one closing at the end of month.

Occasionally you'll find a seller like a retiring landlord for example who wants to avoid the huge tax liability of selling their portfolio for cash.
