Problems come into play when we have a tenant who doesn't know what clean means, or that they need to call us when there is a leak, or that the garbage belongs outside and cat food in a bowl - stop feeding the mice already.

That's what you use to pay medical bills,when that comes up.4) Put everything else that's left after paying your mortgage, utilities, food and other essentials toward paying of that credit card.5) Once that's done, save up six months of living expenses.
