. - Many employees at the company have been here 30+ years and are not fond of change or new technology.- We have many Crystal Reports that we had custom made to the boss's specifications.

So research more...I do like the credit score, and you really had me at "share" with another state employee.

Now CA started hitting me with an out of state owner tax that is based on the Gross of rental income (not the Net).  

On your next topic - we also have a lake side VR up for sale for $95K turnkey - it's a 1966 trailer so holds virtually no real estate value - but is in great shape, has great views, looks fab, brings in $23K year gross, very low maintenance, and has 8 years of 5 star reviews.

I'm dealing with three challenges: 1) roach residue in the kitchen cabinets 2) floor under the carpet is kinda gross 3) still not the best smell in the unitI contacted a company about what they would do and they wanted $150 for just an inspection and estimated treating the place (cleaning all surfaces, ozone machine, etc.) would cost thousands. 

I wonder if you think these are appropriate numbers on a SFD or condo: Price: $230,000 (the median)Down: 33%Rent: $1600% of gross in expenses: 45%Interest rate on a 30 year mortgage: 4.5%Credit score: 700+Status: currently unoccupiedExperience: Yes, some.Proximity: 15 miles from homeExpenses/rent appreciation: 2% and 3% annuallyVacancy: 5%

Mostly I see this preservation activity being out-sourced to contractors rather than being done by in-house employees; but I would imagine that in areas that have an abundance of foreclosures that the banks can keep a crew of employees busy doing this stuff.Now, sometimes it can take time to record the new deed after the foreclosure completes, but the lender as the new owner will get the preservation actions started ASAP - so a deed might look like still owned by a borrower but the bank has it as REO, and so this is another possibility in addition to what Brian Burke has already pointed out.

(you know where this is going)In 5 years:(A) has generated gross profits of $140k(B) has generated gross profits of $85k.

Say goodbye to tracking individual receipts - every single SKU that you buy goes online... this is true for both HD and Lowes.It's also super helpful to be able to hand your key players a charge card and stop having to do endless phone sales (Which take FOREVER if there's a line)IMO, it's a lot more helpful than having a business CC with employee cards... wrangling receipts is never, ever fun or easy when you're dealing with a process that may entail several trips a day to various stores.I also encourage the use of gas account cards for underlings for the same reason - they report every dime spent to your online account.
