When you do the actual work that allows investors (not just me) to evaluate a property you get to the top of the list and you get calls and you get deals. 

Have had police called multiple times for them with reports and yes I'm very upset cause I was way too nice and they lied and took advantage of the situation.

That is usually a wake-up call to the tenant.

I also go over basic maintenance stuff, how to change a furnace filter and how often, where to turn off water and power, and how to reset a GFCI so we don't have to call an electrician every time!

Let’s call it Retirement 2.0.Retirement 2.0For a moment, let’s set aside the traditional model of retirement we’ve all been taught and reimagine retirement as it should be.What if . . . we didn’t have to wait until the end of our lives for retirement?

Has anyone actually gotten "a few thousand in Property tax reduction" simply by planting 6+ fruit trees, or just a temporary reduction in assessed value based on the cost of the multiple fruit trees being exempt from counting as an improvement (temporarily) called an "ORCHARD"??
