I dismissed them (and paid them for the call), and called another Tech, he brought a replacement thermostat and 15 minutes later it was fixed with the proper chilled air temp coming from the vents.I told the three of them it was most likely the Thermostat, and they put a multi meter on it and said NO.The skill of the Tech makes a difference (as well as their honesty, because if this system is a black box to you--you could easily be told anything, and end up paying a ton more then needed).Good Luck!

With the properties I manage, I'm usually a fairly chill landlord (my goal is kind but firm on rules) but with cash for keys, you have to really harp on the fact they can walk with this money or they will be greeted by an officer next week who will be much less kind.  

Maybe one day you'll wake up and the desire to invest will outweight the desire to chill, then you'll be ready to move forward.

Granted; they should have a shelf life.. you want to OWN real estate not just get another job… but if you are completely and utterly new to it, and don’t understand it fundamentally, then there’s nothing wrong with slow progress and getting paid along the way.

After my first one I felt utterly wrung out!

I looked at fully developed lots ( pipe farms) in Henry county that I could buy for 1k a lot.. tried to raise a fund to buy them but investors pushed back  ( It does not cash flow) I did manage to buy 14 lots for 3k a peice in a nice development of 250 to 350k homes . held them a little over two years and exited at 30k per lot that was a 10X  but that was then and now is now .. so agree some softening no utter meltdown like what happened then.

If I don't purchase however, the hassle isn't worth a little less rent so I might as well just chill with my friends in Austin. 

I have done some GC work years ago and peoples utter lack of understanding of normal construction issues were the reason I got out of that quickly before I got into it too deep!

If your retirement utterly depends on having adequate cash flow from your properties, any downturns will cripple you.

I bet you take over in 60 days or less 😍😍 LOL toucheOK I will chill out.
