Don't burn bridges. 

maybe you will get lucky and the light bulb will burn out!

There's a balance here between me as an owner not getting burned by a contractor and the contractor not getting burned/fronting too much.

But my burning desire is to own passive income properties through out south / northeast areas.

I think one would only regret this decision If their home ever burned down or a natural disaster hit.

VP's bad tenant burns common area flooring with cigarettes, scattered burn holes throughout.  

It is amazing how many property management companies lose their property managers because of burn out.  

I have stayed away from renting for the Burning Man event because of the dust.

And to prevent the well pump from pulling up dirt and clogging up the pipelines (which it did once already) and risk burning the pump itself a sensory shut off was installed at the pressure tank to stop the pump for 60 minutes at a time after it senses low water to allow the well time to replenish.

I would get in those units and make sure they are not trying to burn 100 candles for heat, or close the main water control valve if the building is close to freezing to prevent water damage, or help avoid icy sidewalks and steps, etc.
