Yet, at the one end of the mall, they knocked down one of the former anchor store's building and put in a large new supermarket and a large Menards store, along with some other small strip malls, fast food joints, etc. so there is some hope for the future over there.The condos can sure be cash flow machines as Dawn is laying out for everyone here, that's quite a nice return there!

I recommend writing out your business plan which highlights your experience, and ongoing investment roadmap. 

Highlights include:Gas Stove $298Electric Stove $298no affiliation, it is just a great deal I wanted to share

Caleb it takes these types of things money to rent the space, have food if any, and pay for materials etc.So those 200 buck things are likely breaking even.

@Greg Kuchan  Congrats on all that you have accomplished...when it comes to the property management start with the podcast on BP on the page post they highlight the books that the people who are landlording are reading and have learned from.

I wish I could do this full time so I can put more effort into it but I have to put food on the table, pay bills and focus on keeping my job.

Just more food for thought.As to your "scary" comment, never ever let fear stop you.

Hey @Maha Mikhail to write it in a link, just highlight the text and then click the little paperclip looking icon above! 

(Maybe if you bother to clean your kitchen and stop leaving food all over the place they would not come back so fast). 

Need to consider basic wear and tear thinking here, normal or expected living styles, if a kid hides a sandwich so they have to eat it, that's normal, if a tenant allows pet waste to pile up, leave food out on a counter, the floor hasn't been swept in a month, that's different, that is poor housekeeping.I'd never allow a tenant to do any trimming of trees, shrubs....maybe, depends on who they are, a 50 year old lady who gardens....yes, a college kid.....no.Along these lines, a reminder, tenants may not be required to do maintenance or repairs on any residential property, commercial they may.
