I nearly went with a firm in Kentucky or North Carolina - can't remember - found them on Upwork - and had planned to fly out to meet them - but I circled back to one other local contact one more time - we met got on the same page and they are within walking distance of my office and readily reachable with a few employees in the office so I should be good with them for sometime.I use a # of things that automate stuff so there is no point in wasting human labor and time on it from ordering groceries online, deliver what we can then curbside pickup the rest - ordering all of our supplies online, empowering kitchen staff to take charge of the food ordering etc - there were a million inefficiencies we had - still plenty left but got the lions share taken care of.Use a service in Cali to have our bills mailed to - they open the mail scan them in and then I forward them to Bill.com - I click a few buttons and can pay the bills which are then synced with QBO - receipts can go to Hubdoc and payroll is outsourced to the bookkeeper as well - so for the $18k which inc payroll and software fees there was a # of moving parts going on - I could just tell with the automation she wasnt doing much at all due to very little responsiveness the past 6-9 mos and no reports, large swaths of time to have books reconciled among other things - I could do it all myself frankly now but I dont want to worry or stress of it - it's worth it to farm it out.I stayed away from in house as well as the prior owner had an in house person and I later found out his books were all screwed up - I was also sold something that was not entirely accurate due to a few other things - but it's fine - we found the problems and fixed them. 

You can also scan documents into PDF with google drive and your phone - use this all the time.2.

Think driving around for dollars and taking pics of run down houses to help them find deals and participate in the deal to learn.

I think the pics look pretty good for self done.

If you can find a reliable person for $50---Maybe pay in bulk at the end --to discourage quiting.Maybe text to remind and require a pic to prove every time.Maybe have a bonus of $50 if the job is well done, on time and finished to the end of the term.Maybe have a secret bonus (if you like the work and the person) of a $50 McDonalds card (meals for the person and friends)...as a surprise deal sweeter, so when you need someone again...you get their attention...

Do you have any pre and post Reno pics to share?

ThanksLee Our cleaners are to take pics from 3-4 angles in all rooms + beds, couches, kitchen and bath surfaces. 

My thought is that I could have the tree removed and then pave over where the tree was so there is driveway access to the 3rd car area of garage (see pic) - this could allow both units to have garage access through separate doors.

In addition to tracking your income, it allows you to easily scan in your receipts for any expenses and log them into categories that match what the IRS will be looking for at tax time.

@Theresa Harris@Bruce Woodruffthanks, yes he wants to replace whole his fence , he is saying its about 40 yrs old.i moved here 3 yrs back, don't know history, I asked him to share pics from his side if he see any issues, he just says its old and needs Replacement, I took pics from my side not seeing any issues. looks like my part would be around $1300 after splitting in half. if it was damaged, I would be fine, he says per California law it has to be split 50:50 between neighbors.
