I wish the whole world was sunshine, rainbows, and kittens too...

I'm in Arizona with no shortage of sunshine, yet I'm told it can be a "break even" depending on cost of electricty, number of days of sunshine, etc.

We just picked up a higher end 5 bed 3 bath with pool that we are setting up for STR family events (reunions, bachlorette parties, anniversaries, super bowl, Barret Jackson Car Show, TPC golf turnament, and your regular "I want to get out of MInnesota into the sunshine and warm" crowd, etc) and the costs are much higher than your quote.If you want to keep things under $1,000 an apartment, I don't think that includes bedframes, mattresses, linen, night stands, window treatments, and so on.

I understand your self-interest - but when someone sells something that isn't promised, let the sun shine brightly on the whole transaction.)

What I do for my rental properties is purchase them under an LLC addressed at a POBox (ex: sunshine investments, 138 south main realty, etc.) so no one can search the tax assessors database and find out who I am and where I live.

Make Money while the Sun Shines.

The high cost of homes with respect to salaries is nicknamed the “Sunshine Tax”. 

David Faulkner your comment was like a ray of sunshine.

Of course this is a suggestion from the sunshine state of Florida :)

City will tell you that you can’t see the bills but your friendly call to the Attorney General will help city clerk to realize she has to provide the bills.So Ron, if your city passes that ordinance, and you have such a sunshine law in your state, then get all the landlords to form a line and request to see the bills.
