Sorry didn't mean to start a guessing game.His labor came out to about 550.it was one long day, and a half day.I thought that was sorta high, even considering the additional scope of work, for only 45 sq ft of flooring.He did not install a toilet, just pulled and reseated it with new wax ring.This also is in Indiana, which costs should be a bit lower.I was thinking somewhere around 350-400.I am going to go ahead and pay it of course, he does good work.But if you aren't monitoring costs, for better deals out there, you will be broke as a landlord, that doesn't do the work themselves.

E&O, Office space, Contracts, Brand awareness, Existing infrastructure with policies already in place etc....By providing all of these things for you the Broker is taking a chunk from you.

However, we have good schools, great hospitals, excellent & affordable higher education, robust infrastructure, and none of our cities are going bankrupt.  

This city is also growing a lot and has nice road infrastructure and new retailElgin - Is still a small town with good sausage.  

The CFPB was just the entity named for controlling and monitoring the processes after these changes went into effect and stole money from the country (again)!  

I'm happy to report that my tenants agreed with me that "it's just not working out" and have signed a "Quit and Vacate" letter which I wrote to terminate the lease early and vacate the property on July 31 (2 days from now).I'm able to remotely monitor the outside of my property with security cameras (this was disclosed to the tenants on signing the lease) and have not seen any "moving" activity.

Condos carry some of this stress reduction also as you don't have to shovel, clean, do pest control, monitor the roof, fix the roof, monitor the boiler, fix the....you get my point, the association handles that.

A couple downsides on this one: previous landfill (looks like I'll be using some of the skill I learned on our ROC brownfield development site), currently HAS 6 DEP wells for monitoring ground water, though I'm not sure if they are active.

Wake Forest and Cary would to two that have similar amenities and general feel but have both grown very pricey.Knightdale and Garner will give you a better value on what you purchase and still have very nice shopping and new infrastructure that has gone in as those towns boom. 

I use Mint for day-to-day spending tracking, making it easy to tag and categorize expenses, mostly for monitoring active checking accounts (my wife and I each have our own checking account, as well as a joint one).
