That said, those lightweight coverlets (have used Mezzati brand) also go through the wash each time; can dry on a rack quickly or under the fan in the bedroom if damp.  

Comforters are burdensome (time consuming) to wash and dry.

It’s dry reading but it’s there.

Utilities are not sub metered.One half is vacant and needs new flooring, dry wall and paint.

I do charge my tenants when they "patch" a hole by leaving tons of dried patch that I now have to sand and fix.  

I put roughly 13k into it removing wall paper, wood paneling, replacing a drop ceiling in the kitchen with a dry wall ceiling, refinishing hardwoods, adding lighting, and updating some plumbing.$1100 in rent for a 60k property might sound great, but property taxes on the house are roughly $300/month, so its not as lucrative as it might sound, plus the 13k rehab out of pocket is more than my down payment so it cuts my ROI in half.

The neighbor also has a sump pump dumping water in his backyard even when it's been dry, I have no idea why.

Undoubtedly the wood is arriving from a super dry warehouse somewhere in SE Calgary, not exactly a climate controlled environment.

Since you have more cash available you can then even with limited financing available in a down turn can take advantage of low priced deals.In another example if you have very to little debt on properties when lending dries up will be harder to access a good amount of your equity with a loan to take advantage in down cycle to buy more properties.No strategy is fool proof  but does make sense.  

I've seen a mix of comments regarding the note market being dry (no more inventory) and the ROI starting to come down from the 10-12% range.
