If you'd like to someday be the owner of your company instead of chief cook and bottle washer, eventually you will have to hire someone to perform these functions so the sooner you track them as cost items the better.

I plan to tear it down and eventually re-deed both pieces of land as one.

I think it will catch all of them eventually.

ill step in and add on to what bryan and jeffery are saying as well,althought jeffery hasnt had too much problems with his tennants because of the price basically doesnt mean he wont,and im not sayign he will either but i do know it doesnt matter how much a tennant his paying eventually you'll have some of them that dont wont pay whether their paying 300 a month or 2000a month and im saying this from a landlord/friend of mines that has over 800 units all together.Jeffery Obviously has prescreened his tennats pretty well,Bryan maybe you should get out of your comfort zone a lil bit

i'd like to eventually get to the point where that is my business.

I would make sure that the reasoning given in a cure or quit notice was based on excessive noise, disturbing the peace, harassment of neighboring tenants, etc...I just wouldn't include the alcohol issue in the notice or in my argument if this eventually went to court.

I wouldn't want the tenant to come back and blame you for problems the child might develop from the application of pesticides.In my own home here in Denver, I've bought the little electronic devices that are supposed to repel mice and spiders (I have dogs...and I'm nervous about pesticides mostly because I had a dog a few years ago eat a poisoned mouse and it eventually killed my dog).  

So it costs me nada to gain equity and eventually cash out in 3-5 years depending on the market.

Although I don't have a portfolio as of yet, I would share in general what I have and what I am trying to put together.Like Jon said, if you dig enough you'd be able to find what you're looking for eventually.

I propose that with the continued globalization and consolidation of world markets it's eventually inevitable.
