If you use an excavator to knock down the walls, the same machine can dig/break up the bottom in about 15 minutes.

When tenants do not pay they use 30 to 35% more water and do not report water leaks as often and let all their buddies was the cars outside and wash their clothes inside and take showers at their place etc.I do not like apartments anymore where I pay the water unless I am buying for almost nothing and factor in 65% annual costs and still cash flow great.

Our house was fine, but all utilities are off and all the roads were washed out.So now it's worthless as a rental house, but I'm not aware of any insurance we could have bought to cover this eventuality.

Bottom line is I found their marketing 'machine' to be great, but their value proposition to be lacking.

that's crazy. absolutely crazy. my tenants have a burned light bulb and i go and replace it. i was called last week to unclog the sewer line because the washing machine backed up and i purchased and gave them 2 lint traps ($3.40).you can do comparisons in your area to see what the other landlords charge and if they do maintenance. i bet you most of them do. who the hell makes the tenant repair a chimney?

That's why I'm looking into commercial property and larger multi-family properties that way I don't have 50 SF/2-4 unit properties that all need a furnace and a dishwasher, wash machine, and flooring within the same year.

F'ton has historical buildings but they are washed out more by modern surrounding buildings, while SJ tends to have more older buildings surrounded by other older buildings.

I agree with you that she was manipulated and that will probably come out in the wash, but there is a difference between stupid and having legal capacity. :)

Think of all of the marketing, offer making, deal closing you can do during the time that you are there patching cracks and washing paint out of your paint brushes.You are probably going to be losing a lot more in opportunities.
