I've read quite a few blog posts here and have been listening/catching up on the BP podcast for the past month.  

I'll definitely catch myself up on the new FASB rules. 

For example, if you are using a crummy flooring that last only a couple of years, you can make that mistake quite a few times before you catch on, and stop doing it.  

Until the rest of Ocean View catches up to East Beach, East Beach will remain an island unto itself.

We use Romance Plumbing Services, and they have gone out of their way to assist us- Best wishes on getting it resolved, and it is so unfortunate the inspector did not catch it- we had a similar problem on our last rental purchase-All the Best-Trace

In the interest of keeping my tenants safe, I'm in the process of installing security cameras.If my security cameras catch the culprit(s) that are leaving the door open, can a landlord add/impose a fee if it was not part of their initial lease?

@Scott McMillan, @Karen DiNapoli in most states you cannot operate an LLC from another state unless it is registered as a "Foreign entity"  I don't know, but I suspect there is no requirement to have an LLC in your home state, if you form and operate an LLC in another state.The catch is how do you "operate" in another state, if you are actually running it from your home state?

Then, I started to wonder what the catch was with it being free now.

Which is cool, I'm not judging, 85% of self employed people flagrantly lie to the IRS (if the IRS hired a bunch of former LOs as auditors, maybe they'd actually catch people once in a while...). 

However raising the rent to cover a portion of the utilities may not be feasible.This is a great catch - thank you - I put in the wrong refi number.
