My long term goal is to buy and hold (and hopefully through BRRRR strategy - as I see it as a very efficient way to build equity and portfolio).

Booze and women........Save it for the next opportunity or when an emergency hits.....

Our property manager since she manages hundreds of units, her whole team has to stay very organized to make sure that units are being managed in an efficient manner!

For some the sound of rain, or water droplets hitting something can be highly disturbing. 

It is like the stickers you see on trucks that say not responsible for rocks etc. hitting other vehicles.

If it is cash basis, the book does not really show accurate information such as the checks you actually sent out but not hit your bank, the insurance you paid for one year but it is expensed at one shot at the time, you receive invoices from your vendors but those are not recorded as your payable.With that said, if you are "not" familiar with accrual basis accounting, you should just book in cash basis because it will be easier for accountant to find out what is correct and what is not. 

Then after much research and paranoia I also bought 2 gallons of Kilz Original and put that down over whole floor, the trouble areas hit hard again. 

Update: I should have hit the refresh button before I posted this post.
