I like the German philosophers, but I also have a soft spot for ancient Chinese and Indian philosophy.  

Okay met the bug guy today at my complex.He said the problem I have is German cockroaches.Stated tenants have to stay clean or bug problem won't go away and that all tenants have to be clean or bugs will spread to other units in the building.We are going to be doing inspections to the units once a month.If tenants are not keeping clean I will file for eviction on them immediately.Bug company wanted a crazy amount 500 month for 20 units in 5 buildings.What I ended up doing is one building at 100 a month.This building had tenants I just got out and the unit was really bad with roaches.Said one of the worst he has ever seen.The other 4 buildings have no current bug problems that I know of.I know I can buy Boric acid and the gels myself but if you would have seen this unit you would gladly pay the money.Bug guy said after a few months I could save by going quarterly and I can cancel anytime.I also didn't want the liability of putting down pest control substance in tenants apartments and wanted to leave that to the professionals.Any comments appreciated.

Do you always find the knowledge shared during the meetings germane?

@Joel German look into house hacking using an fha loan to do 3.5% down.

@Stedman Valentine house-hack a duplex with an FHA loan on the Southside, near German Village or on the east side in Blacklick or Gahanna.

Quote from @Germán Rimoldi: Both income tax paid overseas for the capital earning and rental income can be used as a tax break.

@Germán Rimoldi I am not familiar with either market but to me, it seems the one in NC has more opportunities and appeal with being closer to Lake Nantahala.

On top of that, his service dog is a giant German Shepard puppydog..and I will not argue with its owner for fear the puppydog won't be nice to me:)

We get a lot of German tourists and some of my German friends do very well catering to their friends and countrymen.

Agree with @Mikael Winkler on Columbus and especially the South Side which includes German Village, Schumacher Place, Merion Village, Southern Orchards ...
