So easy example, let's say after expenses, my net rental income is $10,000, well with the feds, I'm in the 37% group, so they get $3,700 in tax.

I think that's the driver of their rate hike at the end of March when the Fed lowered rates and did the big QE. 

If I catch him watering the grass, than I look like the crazy landlord.

Yes, the grass is greener on this side.

Look for homes that are targeted by the city for high grass and weeds, repair orders, vacant/board up orders, etc.

I made new friends with the next door neighbors who will be cutting the grass and doing the snow removal for 20 bucks a week.

Everyone always think the grass is greener somewhere else.

I have an option to put decomposed granite as the grounds material and I am trying to stay away from grass.
