A friend reminded me, "If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.".

My husband and I are in Denver and have a couple of properties here, but our long-term goal is to relocate to Durango (which we visit at least yearly and reminds us of how Denver used to feel!).

Let me remind you, you guys are not in the power position.

. - could it be that you just need a reminder on what your original goals were? 

We are always reminded not to count on appreciation to cover a poor investment, but if that is working in your favor it's at least something to be thankful for.

Others have regularly been late on payments, have needed reminders of the rules in the lease, and have been asked to leave.

It reminds me of piping on a ship that would vibrate where there were long runs that weren't secured as tightly, or where a pump connected and introduced vibrations to the pipes.

Whoever hired the subs is responsible for reminding them to clean up after themselves or holding the next progress payment until the cleanup is routinely done as per the contract (assuming the contract requires the job site to be left in a tidy condition at the end of the work day)

Thanks for the reminder, we have an OA that i'll review.

I know we must be careful of discrimination and fair housing but, many potential tenants profiles had pictures of dogs or other pets which I don't allow and was just a reminder to ask while they toured property.
