@Drew Reynolds   my goal would be to build a brrrr machine.

Investing in Pueblo is not like investing in Wash Park here in Denver.

Let's pretend it's a generous 1 yr CD with no early withdrawal penalty.7 year CD: 2% and penalized six months of interest if you pull funds out early.If you pull funds out after exactly 12 months, it's a wash:1 yr CD @ 1 yr: $10k * 1% = $100.7 yr CD @ 1 yr with penalty: $10k * 2% - [$10k * 2% / 2] = $100.After 18 months...1 yr CD @ 1.5 years: $10k * 1% * 1.5 years = $150.7 yr CD @ 1.5 years and penalized six months of interest: $10k * 2% * 1.5 years - [$10k * 2% * 0.5 years] = $200.So there's your low risk / low reward "CD hacking" tip of the day to get rich by earning an extra $50 on $10k after a year and a half.

Clean with zinsser perma wash or jomax, then paint with a moldicide type paint (if you think it will be a future problem) or normal paint is fine.

If they don't pay rent on time they would always have the option of paying the parking meter machine.

They might just find it easier to wash their hands of deals and want to focus on rebuilding their primary residence, etc.

I'm kind of against the flat rate because I could either make money or lose money on it, and I'd prefer it to be a wash, as close as possible.There's something called the RUBS method that I've found, does anyone have experience with that?

For the dishwasher this time, i don't think waiting til this Saturday for a new one should get me in trouble, washing dishes is not an urgent issue. 

The way he did it was he took out a HELOC to do the addition and he had some extra money leftover, which he then used to purchase a note.

Personally when I rented I was always rolling my eyes when I saw a coin-op machine in the building and felt like that was just an extra hidden cost into my rent.
