I came across the SimplyCash Business Card from Amex, which among other benefits gives you 5% cash back at office stores and no annual fee.The cool thing about the office store discount is that you can use it to buy gift cards from vendors such as Home Depot, Lowes and Amazon -- my usual goto places for supplies to maintain the property and capex.

There is also no mention on the lease of my sister having to maintain a certain temperature or keeping the heat on.

The bldg. and apartments are in good condition, the previous owner had the property for 20+ years and maintained the bldg. very well but never increased any rents.

I too am fond of the buy and hold and as the properties age I would liquidate and maintain a healthy RE portfolio.

I think it's an excellent idea affiliate marketing +/or network marketing, because you maintain your time freedom and you get other non-monetary benefits...

$800 of unplanned tree trimming and removal later, I learned to not forget the trees.The first house we acquired was in a new development with no trees so I never thought about the cost of maintaining them.

Inevitably it is cheaper to go with a more universal lock that is cheaper to maintain.

Of course you have to maintain the property, pay property taxes and keep it surrounded with a non-combustible fence.

We are from there originally and have family helping us maintain the properties.
