Remember, as landlords, we offer a vital service - we provide homes, a place where people's lives unfold.

(For example, if Tenant fails to pay rent on time or damages the Premises, Landlord has no duty to warn or notify Guarantor, and may demand that Guarantor pay for these obligations immediately.)

It means there is normally someone on duty all the time too as one of the team can handle an unexpected situation and make sure the right person gets to sort it properly later.

Another option would be to insulate the ceiling with Rockwool; ROCKWOOL COMFORTBATT R-15 Attic Wall 59.7-sq ft Unfaced Stone Wool Batt Insulation Individual Pack in the Batt Insulation department at Lowes.comIt does double duty as a fire barrier and is a good sound absorber.

Diversifying your deal sources is vital.

A layer of the heavy duty thick sound blocking foam was placed over the rest of the floor and laminate was put on top.

One of our sons is currently active duty military with a big savings account and no debt - he went straight out of high school.

But when it comes to taking the vital first step, most people don't know where to start.

We may outsource more of the duties later but this approach has allowed us to get in tune with the business so we can mange the manager later.
