This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

I am in and out of the city weekly , I have run numbers and they "Look " good on paper .

I always like the idea of turning paper money into real money so long as the new investments I would make exceed my existing cash flow.

It made the local paper for one day (they hate to print bad news), and I don't think I'm getting a repeat booking.  

I would rather get the dreaded, middle of the night call, "the toilet is overflowing", than be doing paperwork in the AC.

Tenant also finds out LL filed eviction papers the day after she offered to help with moving costs.

Heck some people use just a piece of paper and a pencil and have for years, and has never been a problem. 

I have rejected 2 applicants who screened well on paper but when we did the in-home visit found hoarder levels of junk, bugs, animal feces, holes in walls, unreported pit bulls, etc. 

In either case, you can't work on the property as it must be a passive investment (e.g. you must hire someone to fix the toilet and can't pay the expense with non-retirement funds).7.

Hahaha it's just a toilet not a biological weapon.
