Generally if a expense does not generate a higher rent it is not worth the cost or effort.If turn over is your primary concern you need to concentrate on your screening process as a priority.

So if you have the foresight, it's not a terrible strategy to max out your TSP on day 1, wait until your eligible to borrow the max and use this money to generate income.

My goal is to generate some passive income so I can start building up my wealth and assets!

If you are looking for extra energy every day and am not a morning person at all—like me, take cold showers every morning.

So, now it's illegal to dump fuel test samples and they have to either pour the sample back in the tank or use sample capture jugs that will later be used for fueling generators.

If you have not generated any income, nor purchased any properties, the only expenses you could deduct would be those that you incurred in the process of setting up your business (as an LLC, S-Corp, etc.), just be careful, the IRS expects you to make a profit in 3 out of any 5 years and they are quick to label those that do not meet this requirement as a "hobby" and then none of your losses are deductible.

I was thinking of putting in the energy saving bulbs!!!
