Hi Adam, the first Adam was caught in a lie and he got kicked out of the garden.

We used a garden sprayer and bleach, then pine sol on the framing.

Costs:loan: $3100Tax: $800Insurance:  ~$150Cap expense: 3 * $250 = $750Maintenance: $250Vacancy: 5% of $2000 * 3 = $300 (this is very conservative compared to what I actually have)Misc: $100 (this unit does not require a gardener but I am unsure of how laundry room is powered and other utilities)Total: $5400Rents: $6KLaundry room: $150Total: $6.15KSelf managed cash flow: $750Note with property management at 10% it would be virtually cash neutral ($150 positive cash flow).Note I have less than 5% vacancy. 

Generally the lawns and gardens should be reduced to a bare minimum and where possible removed entirely.

( * Just FYI, Home Depot now has real marble vanity tops in stock for unbelievably great prices--not carrara, but a type of marble called Arabescato Venato, which has both gray and beige and/or brown veining, so it can work with older beige and almond/bone colored tile, (like mine) too!

So the power cord is just dangling behind the cabinets, which I can barely see through a drawer which does not come out easily at all and would need to be disassembled in order to pull it out, grab the cord and stretch it to the far side of the drawer and plug it in.After trying to reach this any way possible, my agent and I were kind of scratching our heads and wondering what we would buy at Home Depot to plug this in and avoid taking apart the drawer/cabinet.I called out to my awesome 5 year old, Kahlan, who wanted to come with Daddy to the house and asked if she thought she could fit in this drawer and if she wanted to be a hero.

Many dogs are fine while their owner is home but become a major nuisance to the neighborhood the moment the owners leave the house.Tell them if the dog causes excessive wear (scratching doors, or chewing on things including garden plants) they will have to restore it to the condition it was in at the time they started the lease.It is so hard for pet owners to rent in some areas that it might be to your advantage to charge enough to make it worth your while.

I'm thinking new at the minute, as there's some great 4th July sales on, so I can get a brand new oven, fridge and dishwasher from home depot for about $1,500 which isn't much different to used ones.

It is insane, and unfortunately they are consolidated as much as they can be.Why I wouldn't separate them out by property:Trips to home depot, the post office, ect would need seperate transactions for each property to properly account for them.  

People will decide being Westland/Garden City is too expensive and far from the job centers and the schools are not any good anyway.
