When I get a listing, I advertise it using this method.  

@Joe McCall -- Joe McCallHey man, you seem to be a real expert on the Craigslist method and really nerding it up with the techy tactics.

It is a means to adjust your accounting method to adopt the routine maintenance safe harbor which is a requirement.

It can be shown that it is a good business financing method rather than saying or letting them think "hey, I'm broke, have bad credit and I'm flaky".

I have never asked for an amortization schedule but maybe I will.I am glad too see someone else uses the same method as I do for recouping my out of pocket money including repairs...it always seemed to make sense to me....make my out of pocket money back then everything else is gravy....and how long will it take to do it....very easy to compare different properties this way.

., I think I recommended that method :) I believe I read it in The Section 8 Bible, written by someone on BP.

Although I used materials and methods designed to be economical, I have always insisted on a quality of work that would be acceptable to me if I wanted to live in them.

So I haven't branched out into other methods.

If you feel that I could have the same results using another method, which would be free or lower cost than one of these services, then please let me know that also.

I'm always curious to learn what factors have how much weight, to see what adjustments I should consider for my scoring method.
