If money wasn't automatically taken from peoples paycheck for gambling in stocks with outlandish PE ratios today, and no real business in 2001, I doubt they'd sit down the weekend after pay day, shop for stocks, and place buy orders.  

I also organize another investor lunch meetup in downtown Honolulu if that is ever convenient for you.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/731912-rei-professionals-lunch-downtown-honoluluGreat to meet yet another REI making it happen from the islands. 

It's obviously cheaper- Tenants, especially the quality of tenants in Detroit (or so the argument goes), are rough on appliances (the solution here is to simply state in your lease you aren't responsible for repairs, and they are offered as a convenience).- Tenants that move in their own appliances tend to stay longer because moving out is that much more of a pain.Arguments to include them:- You'll rent your house faster and for a higher rate- When moving in/out appliances, tenants are likely to beat up the house- It's the "right" thing to do.

If you do equity only your basically gambling to some degree.Buying negative cash flow assets is better then not buying anything at all however.

For convenience I decided to use their PM services.

Their Help center says, "there is an option to choose who will be responsible for the convenience fee, payer or receiver."

@Janet Voss Al does more of his own website, but I have a ton of reviews on Airbnb, and I think it is just so easy and convenient to funnel tenants or potential leads.

That is not investing, that is gambling.  

How convenient. 

Depending on what card and financial intuition you may be able to call the bank and request convenience checks for the card.
