But a plus is that it forces you to keep your properties in reasonable condition - which, if you believe in "pay now, or pay (much more) later" as I do, is probably a good thing on balance.I wouldn't say try it on your first property, but if you're in RE for the long haul, and aren't philosophically opposed to section 8 (some are, and I understand that perspective too), then I'd recommend taking a section 8 tenant at some point just for the experience.

An early bad review will hurt for a long time.If you're in it for the long haul, I would be aggressive on price, but don't give it away either. 

If that logic is true, then I guess that means that if the tenant has any other crazy thing in the home, I'm liable if one of their buddies injures themselves on that too.I'm not saying that isn't possible, but I am questioning how our legal system allows that kind of silliness to go on.A landlord should not be liable for any toy some tenant's friend hurts themselves on.

My truck has converted from a toy to a tool and it has many more years left in it before it will need replaced.

Plumber made 2 calls(which i paid for)snaked out drained for day then stopped up again. called the third time and I went over and took the drain and trap apart before I called plumber; found a toy car in the trap the plumber apparently missed.

Called the metal recycler and he hauled it away.

It that's your biggest mistake in real estate, you will be a winner in the long haul.

Quicken is a toy by comparison and I don't recommend it.

From buying new vehicles, boats, toys and whatever other materialistic items you could think of. 

We'll have to haul all the crap out of it, but it's definitely not anywhere close to some of the bad places I've seen on BP.
