Maybe you're just getting a lot of troubles out of the way now, so the next few years can be smooth sailing!

@Douglas Larson@Douglas LarsonI'm really in love with the sliding barn door in the living room. 

Ultimately the seller's agent isn't too effective if they do not have a handle on their client to make the transaction go smoothly. 

Everything smooth ?

At this point you don't know what you don't know and to smooth out the learning curve and actually maybe even make some money I suggest you pick one source of seller leads and start working them.

I hope it works out smoothly.

But what do you think about the slide and recovery for commercial real estate?

Everyone is buying the low-flow flush toilets now as a landlord to save on water.If the tenant pays water separately metered then you can leave the old ones in that use more.Some issues with the water saver toilets is that tenants hate them.They have to flush multiple times sometimes.I have found the key with toilets is to not buy the most expensive and not buy the least expensive.I do not like the floating ball valve assemblies.They can get stuck and keep the water running versus the newer kits.Also look for a toilet with a larger throat opening that goes into the sewer pipe.This will keep blockages from happening as that is where things get stuck the most before hitting the sewer line.Also pay special attention when you look at a model of a toilet on the display feel INSIDE of the toilet bowl when purchasing.Some manufacturers gloss coat the outside of the toilet but then use matte coating on the inside of the bowl.You want it nice and smooth on the inside of the bowl.This helps waste and paper slide down the bowl and through the throat into the sewer line without sticking.You can also stipulate in the lease that only toilet paper is to be put in the toilet.Anything else found with a blockage the tenant will be responsible for the repair and the damage.You can even have them sign an acknowledgement form on move in.

After that, it's a down hill slide if you are prudent.Don't give up on the paper game!

I just slide over the furniture as I move around the room.
