Each club has its own identity and rules.

That tenant is gone and the note on the machine telling the other tenants they were not stealing from me, but from my kids, seems to have prevented any recurring problems.I didn't mean to hijack your post about storage and shift it to laundry rooms, I just thought it was another cool alternative way to make $$ with otherwise wasted space.

Personally if I was to look at a house and seen 2 identical rehabbed homes (side by side) and one was for sale by a license rehabber and the other by Joe Blow, I would probably consider paying a couple hundred more for the licensed rehab project.

I have access to complete plans for an identical remodel.

New suburban sprawl pushing into the exurbs actually steals residents from the inner-ring suburbs since the Cleve-area metropolitan population growth is flat.

If you know that you can buy the property for significantly less than what other identical properties are listed for - this could be one vague indication that you've got a good deal on your hands.Again, the value of land can be very tough to nail down - as it is very subjective, depends greatly on what the end buyer needs it for, the level of their need, and what its actual "highest and best use" is.

Tevis Verrett,I'm right in the middle of drafting a new lease...I'm going to steal...errrr.....borrow your wording.Thanks

maytag machines are pretty affordable and reliable.I still don't provide washer and dryer because it's an extra thing to break, and bad tenants can steal them

A non-paying tenant is basically stealing from you.

He's a candidate for identity fraud.But on the ladies, here's my advice: (I mean, on renting to the ladies, other issues with ladies - don't listen to a word I say, or better, listen and do the opposite. )OK - I've had many of these 2 or 3 adult arrangements, sisters, roomies, woman, Mom and Cousin, and here's the bottom line difference between success and failure, in my humble opinion:It is, if there is or isn't ONE key person in the group, that "runs" the household, talks with you, requests maintenance, gathers rent from others and forwards all of it to you, and as several of my "key people" if you will call them, have done, re-rented parts of the house when one of their roomies left.I've got one "key person" that has "run" the house for 8 years, always dealing with the revolving door of roomies - place looks fine, and it's occupied, and all I ever have to do is return his calls when the _ _ _ _ _ isn't working.Another story that amazed me- Karen - main person with her aunt and cousin as roomies.
