I understand there's the University there, it's had slow but positive population growth, and a decent unemployment rate.

Finally, while my rental properties are allowing me freedom and growing itself, my regular job will provide acceleration of my personal debt reduction.

I'd call the plumber, ask if he knows what caused the slow drain - and verify he was paid in full.My lease also says they are responsible for clogs unless the stoppage is between the outside of the unit and the street.I'm guessing that being a A Class tenant they did not want to put up with even a slow drain and have the $ to pay the bill and know it's their responsibility and that they're only looking for a little goodwill or a 'thank you' in return.

When the repairs were slow I did lose sleep over that one because I knew we would have to address the issues there in person and that it would take quite a bit of time. 

If you have a max price higher than your initial offer, an acceleration clause can help. 

Realtor then realized they had put the house on the market for too low and starting slowing things down a bit to see how much the price could escalate. 

Last night we were talking about strategies to pay off mortgages in accelerated ways.

There are slow times in the industry, like around graduation time.

Forgot to mention that lenders like to accelerate the mortgage pay down with short term remaining on the lease.

We did a couple of Cost Segs and accelerated that depreciation.Depreciation is one of my favorite words!
