They are also a pleasant surprise for tenants who are used to receiving nothing beyond what is absolutely necessary from prior landlords. 

At some point in time, you may feel confident enough to rely on the DIY tax prep packages.

Thats how these things tend to work, prices rise over time. 99% of time that has happened ha been an all time high at that moment in time.

(And also I went in depth on this for a month doing it myself - you'd never think it but the local Kroger chain is for the most part less expensive on MOST things we order vs Sam's and Wal Mart - I was literally breaking everything down to the ounce - and also factoring in time it would take for staff to make it to a Wal Mart and pick up groceries and the overall headache of dealing with Wal Mart staff - anyways if you get off brands if you have a major grocery chain I'd think you'll find they are more cost effective)  (PS - I also spent a lot of time talking about food and supplies as I think most would find this is probably the most expensive monthly line item expense after staffing)One thing I haven't tackled yet is changing our chemical supplier and firing ecolab - it's a lower hanging fruit of probably saving 200-500 a month depending on who I go with - not insignificant but there's other bigger fish to fry for now but I'll get them out soon.Anyways the biggest struggles if you want to be owner of RE and business is STAFFING - that will be the biggest struggle - we are doing better but not where I want to be yet. 

I am most familiar with East Price Hill, Lockland, Reading, Pleasant Ridge, Green Township, Bridgetown, Cheviot, and Wyoming.Also be sure to go to the local mastermind Joe Fairless holds.

Other than that you can wait and see how long it takes, but again I virtually guarantee it will not be done in time for the property to be professionally cleaned, any repairs done, and ready for tenants to move in on their agreed upon date.As for your new tenants, you probably don't want to advertise that you're moving them into a unit that a hoarder is in... do you have other available units?

Just in time for lunch

We've got a rental right next door in Pleasant Grove for $1,100/mo and it is NICE.

There does come a point in time when it pays to higher good legal counsel to arrange your estate and provide more sophisticated asset protection plans.Protecting your assets from lawsuits is only part of the big picture.

Would you rather own a building in times square, or the entire block that everything is built on top of?
