Half the items above could be fixed in 2 hours with 1 trip to Home Depot.As for furnishing, they are fine, but curtains are translucent, so you will be up at sunrise. 

. $400 perfectly fit's with trip charge, diagnoses, minor repair and recharge.

@Jim Johnson , crashpads are for out-of-town crewmembers that need a place to stay between trips, paid for out of their own pocket.

You should accept that and move on.Yes, you could tell them it's a business and to not call you on your cell phone at 10pm to tell you the rent will be two days late because their new baby is teething and they haven't found a job and how was your fishing trip and by the way the toilet isn't flushing and the neighbors are letting their leaves blow into our yard. 

We are desert rats and love Southern Utah and make a few trips down every year.

I had to pay a notary to bring me the closing documents because I was on a work trip in North Carolina at the time of closing.

I can't imagine going through such issues 52 times a year that can be managed with good tenant screening 12 times a year, 12 times was enough of a PITA, but whatever trips your trigger and works best in that situation.

I was fine with that.What got me to sell was the constant service call trips from marginal but expensive contractors for every little thing.

During my trip I will meet potential companies/people that I can work with in each of these core three areas to discuss strategy and identify opportunities (nothing like face-to-face meetings and shaking hands).I have between $100K - $150K to get started and looking to do all cash deals initially. 

Welcome back from your trip @Teresa Machi!
