@Matthew Crivelli if we buy the property, there’s closing cost and holding cost which cut into profits unnecessarily IMO.

The last couple years we simply had our grass cutter come cut our grass.

I've considered switching the handle and deadbolt and trying to cut down some of the window casing but that seems like it may not be a great option.

Maybe first read the contract you signed with them to see if there is any language regarding utilities being switched or cut off after vacancy.

Keeping their finances from being tied up for long periods of time.

They're all tied together, with Valassis handing urban markets and the east, Mspark handling "rural" markets and the Midwest, and Mailbox Merchant handling the West Coast, including its urban centers.I'm at Mspark, so each company will have a couple nuances specific to them, but if you wanted to run postcards, for example, you could do so to a blanket zip code, portions of zip codes, or even carrier routes, for $0.20 a mailbox.

Using a realtor will effectively cut your profits.

My suggestion is look for the lender first before tying up a property.

Essentially at this point all my financial needs will be met and I not longer HAVE to work those 10+ hour days, nights, weekends, and holidays just to survive - so I feel tempted to take an extended vacation and just kind reflect on my accomplishments so far, take some time to enjoy life a bit, maybe find some new hobbies (which would undoubtedly cut into my profits a bit).
