@Anthony Johnson

When you say maintenance companies 

What do you mean? 

@Tony Johnson 

You are spot on

With that 

I have one foot in that domain 

And the other foot in the save dollar and roll up your sleeves.

I'm at four houses currently

And I am really trying to save as much down payment money as possible.

I am building my team but have yet to get my mvps 

But what you are saying is the truth 

You get no arguments or whining from me .

"You need to behave today like you want to be seen tomorrow"

You are so right about the rang hood

My budget is blown because I was definitely going to get something superman strong

I will see how this unit I bought works out 

I think it is 200cfm

@ Deanna 

shame on him ..........

For being that funny 

oh my!!!!!

Wow 

If I could give an award you would get it

Not sure what i would call it. 

But something worth bragging about 

Sheesh !!! Glad you are alright 

lol @ grumpy mentor 

She was the truth though 

hey old friend

Glad to hear from you

Grrrrr @stick shift

So far I have to say I am glad that I did the extras

But to answer your question

Every time I fill a vacancy i ask mirror mirror on the wall who has the fairest apartment of them all 

Usually the answer is 

"You do you do by far it is the fairest in all the land"

But lately others are quickly catching up

And now that my renovations are four years old 

I am getting answers 

There is an abode over yonder that has a nicer bathroom than you 

It seems my saving grace is my washer dryer 

But I'm

Still in the top ranks for the price point 

In fact I just recently remodeled an apartment and it had lots of bells and whistles.

Have I had perfect tenants? No

But the good really overwhelmingly outweighed the bad.

I miss mother Poe too

She certainly kept me on my toes.

Again glad to hear from you friend

wow 

you just captured lazy landlord concept in a very serious no nonsense refuse to laugh at myself way.

Yes that is exactly what the lazy landlord series is about 

Learning how to tackle the big doable

Jobs that seem daunting 

Doing these jobs safely and to a high standard of craftsmanship 

The lazy part is that many of us procrastinate and really do not want to tackle these jobs 

This series is for those who may be on the fence or are about to embark on a similar renovAtion 

It's a place to share tips and tricks 

And read as I go through one of these renovStions I will share whatever I gleaned from the process

So Deanna I am not calling you lazy

I'm calling myself lazy because 

I have the ability to do and I usually end up dragging myself kicking and screaming to the job site

It's cool Tom 

"That'the gig "

Just click my name and look at posts I've written 

I believe there are three lazy landlord posts 

One on painting 

One on flooring 

I like what you've written 

I believe it dkesent have to be that our work is less than professional quality 

I think that for many of us who are somewhat handy 

We can specialize on one or two things that we can do really well

For me I have chosen 

Tiling , painting, and landscaping

Now I haven't rally done anything landscape wise but my intention is to take some classes on landscape design 

It's one of those areas that pay huge dividends and save tons of money

Tiling mastery allows you to save tons of money and actually greatly improve the value of a home 

Painting of course is something we all can do and we can learn some tricks to help us get a professional job. 

Stay tuned i will start tomorrow and over the next two weeks I will share my experiences tips set backs etc 

Thanks for sharing
