One of my units, has a lot of people living in it, but their water/sewer bill is consistently $140/month.

Contrary to popular belief doors just don't fall off hinges and windows done just magically break :-)thoughts and feed back are appericated

I work in the carpenters' union and while the income is generally enough to get by, it is anything but consistent.

When I was studying the financial aspects of real estate, I determined that that had the greatest potential for long term consistent growth with the least amount of input (time/miles) over an investing career.

I have no one that is consistently reliable and priced reasonably. i know people who use Craig's list, go to home depot in the early AM, or stop at other peoples renovations to find contractors.

We keep each home consistent.

Even if you work your butt off for 6 months you may not have a deal yet, because consistent deals come from consistent marketing, and you really need to have substantial dollars to pay for multiple marketing channels as well as the resources to work all the leads. 

I had about 1600 sq ft. of attic space, and was getting quotes in the $1,500 range, but I only spent $500 for bags of insulation (machine rental is free at HD), and got my brother in law to feed the machine while I was up in the attic with the hose.

I am excited about this years potential and want to feed off of, and share this energy!

I've heard of people that pass off great deals consistently.
