We wanted to convert from Oil to gas (better investment), but PennDOT rejected the utility company's permit due to conflicting work on the same road by another contractor.We also cooperated with tenants and accepted late payment for the 2-3 months since she was working every 2 weeks, during Covid-19.

.- however, the 30YFRM doesn't create a bull run in real estate except during mid of 1970s, there were several things happening in the 70's : the disconnection between gold and the dollar and creating a disconnection between wage and productivity; and the massive inflation due to oil shortage of OPEC embargo.

Okay, what are you cooking?

@Ethan Cooke@John Underwood and @Paul Sandhu business model has and will last much longer than a year.

If don’t go per mile route, and you drive 10,000 miles, and only 100 miles is for the rental property visit, and you spend $10,000 for dp, fuel, oils, maintenance, then technically you are allowed a $100 deduction, outside of depreciation, which is not really much.

Seems that there's a lot of snake oil when it comes to foundation repair.

Hi Joe,I doubt ceiling fans can increase the rent in San Antonio.In the bedroom(s) and living area I think of them as must haves to retain residents (in Texas).I have no formal data for this, just a gut feel, that residents will stay longer if they have (the proper) comforts in the unit.Some fans must be oiled regularly, avoid those.Home depot sells replacement blades and replacement parts for them.Them make a kit where you can reach up into the old light hole and secure some bars in there and that holds the fan steady--meaning don't just bolt it to the old electrical box.The reason I hold my beliefs about them is every time I have been inside an apartment or home, and someone is in the room, winter or summer--the fans are on.So I assume people consider that a comfort item like having heating, especially if it's a SFH without AC (which San Antonio has a lot of).Cheap fans cool the same as fancy expensive ones, and when they are turning you can't see the fancy blades anyway.Good Luck!
