@Larry Turowski I got one of mine by noticing a couch on the street next to a house I just bought.

There are no couches in the front yards or kooky pink and green color schemes.

Look for cat scratching posts and scratch marks on wood door frames and snagged fabric on couches/chairs where a cat may have scratched.

It includes couches, beds, a little clothing, but also a large file cabinet full of documents (that may need properly disposed of, I have not looked at them yet).

I asked mY lil girl, 3 (who just fell asleep here next to me on the couch) what she wanted to do today, she said "go work at you house daddy" The kids did great.

Forgot to mention after the tenants have been there awhile and become attached to the place from you being a good landlord you can raise the rents closer to market but not at the top.It will cost them so much to move and first and last month down along with security deposit.So they will weigh this versus paying another 50 or 60 bucks a month in a years time.Most tenants will opt to stay as they do not have THOUSANDS of extra cash today to move to save 50 a month.They do however usually have the ability to cover an extra 50 a month rather than move.It just depends on who your tenant base will be.If the tenants are lower income expect more moving and higher amounts of trash each week from hand me downs.They constantly get hand me downs and they only last for a short time so you get a bunch of old TV's,couches,beds,tables,etc. that need to be thrown in the trash.They are not supposed to but they will be dumped at your big trash bin or if you have small ones will be left on the road.You have to make sure you can get bulk pick up for your area.Could go on forever.For your first one you might want to buy one semi-performing before taking this on.The downside there is it will take awhile before you can get bad tenants out before performing the rehab but the upside is usually rehab costs are less than a totally vacant building.Good Luck

Another time/tenant had trash/couch in the back yard.

I'll be offering to let a few people crash on the floor/couch, kitchen counters if needed.

If they did crap work they would be getting paid 0 dollars an hour to sit on their couch.
