I had marked on the property management agreement for the complex that tenants were to pay all the utilities.

(no zoning in Houston, but there are heavy HOAs, I'm pretty sure I could add some connections, but I don't know if that would be worth it..)Value add opportunity might be to improve the fencing and mark out the truck rental spaces to maximize the space...the land itself holds a lot of value given the location.

Tennant A is a member of a protected class and Tennant B is a white guy in his 30s; their stats are as follows:Tennant A; 700 credit score, monthly income of $4,000, no felonies or any other marks on the record, and two positive landlord references.Tennant B; 650 credit score, monthly income of $3,500, no felonies or any other marks on the record, and two positive landlord references.Subjective observations of each of the tennants are:Tennant A; showed up 20 minutes late to our scheduled showing of the property, the vehicle is a pit and obviously not cared for properly, dressed in pajamas, and a review of his social media revealed multiple crude and explicit posts.Tennant B; Showed up 10 minutes before he was scheduled to view the house, clean car, dressed professionally, and had minimal social media posts all of which were clean and polite. 

finances are on the check mark in my area. running the math I will have either a few hundred grand in savings, stocks, or equity in 1-4 unit property's within a couple years going at my pace. however while I am saving this massive load of cash and sacrificing a great deal to do so.

Test the ceiling smoke detectors and power outlet mounted carbon monoxide detectors every 2-3 months (by pressing and holding the test button till it beeps; if it continue the beep periodically after the test, the battery needs to be replaced). 2.

I hit the wrong button and I have not said anything about myself.  

Thanks Mark.
