Butt cans should be metal, stored away from any structure, not stored on a wood deck, and emptied regularly.

I asked my granite contact for their least expensive, d-spec piece of stone that was a runoff sitting in a warehouse.

I never buy meat at the grocery store if I can avoid it.

Maybe you have other ways of storing money while keeping it relatively liquid, and available for another deal?

Plus a garage to help store stuff.

If they aren't writing that check every month, they'll be less likely to decide they don't need to store their junk.

They also have chemicals and equipment to clean spots that the "rent from grocery store" systems can't touch.

Eventually I had a list of target stores and gaps.

(e.g. is your subject located next to a liquor store or are the properties to the left, right, front and rear of the subject vacant and boarded up or is it located behind a gas station or is the neighbor's yard full of miscellaneous junk and 5 inoperable vehicles all supported on cinder blocks or is it a nice quiet neighborhood where everybody has a manicured lawn).The smell test - once you walk in the front door of your subject, despite the pretty pictures on the MLS or on Craigslist, do you have to have CPR because you immediately collapsed to the ground unable to support your weight...overcome by the aroma coming from the interior of the subject?
