The home is a 3br, 2ba, 1250 sqft, 2 car garage, built in 1984.

During the summer, this isn't such a concern as there is a one car garage and space for one car in front of garage, too.

I think what you'd find easier in this scenario is instead of the extra accounting ect with paying yourself, just keep a little notebook in the car and jot down the time spent working on each property.

How about the relatively new car (3years or younger) in the tenant's driveway while the landlord is driving a 10+year old car.Who is happier?

I'm 25 now, working full time in the engineering industry, but have been working like crazy over the past 4-5 months creating my business and packing my brain with as much information as I can.

Overstaying my welcome isn’t something I want nor holding up their plans to get the house sold.The work situation: I’m a powertrain engineer at a motorcycle company and spend 45 hours of my week working on engine designs.

@Robert Taylor - use the search engine and type in yellow letters, postcards, DM, etc., and you'll get more info than you know what to do with about this topic.setting your budget - Determine what you can afford to do for 6 months.

I have room for one more in my car.

I get this from one of our neighbors- a rental if it is run down and has loud trashy tenants and cars on blocks would diminish value and rightly cause neighbors anger-- all our rentals are in well established developments-- I give my card to both side neighbors and ask them to please call us if there is excess noise, traffic, residents,etc-- it creates much good will & I also tell the new renter that we have done this with the neighbors-- it puts renters on notice that you will find out about unmoved lawns, animals, etc. as long as your home looks like a home and not a shabby obvious rental, your neighbors will calm down.

Originally, I saw an opportunity to become a "straw buyer" and purchase a small house under rent to own contract until they could buy it off me, but my dad just didn't feel comfortable having his son responsible for his home and that I couldn't afford one of their needs anyways in the area even after I suggested selling my Cobra to fund the down payment - but then he felt guilty about me sacrificing my car.
