Paying water bills at different municipalities 4 times a year and then billing tenants back and collecting from them is also a significant administrative task - how does it compare in your experience?

Originally posted by @Roy Gottesdiener:@Joe Villeneuve love that approach, I think that's what I'll do - use the initial sum for flips and any profits to buy rentals  First add the initial flip profits to the seed money to grow the seed money large enough so the profits generated by the larger seed money is most useful.

How much more could you succeed if you did this one simple task?
