I am considering building a website with all of information for each of my apartments. I wanted to do this because it will be easier to market them and therefore, easier to rent them.

I was thinking of a site that listed the available rentals with pictures, type, square footage, and about 20 other variables so that prospective tenants would be able to look at the rental via the internet. This would cut down on showing to people not interested.

I think the interent has given everyone easy access to information. So, in this information age we live in, prospective tenants will appreciate having the information at thier disposal.

Is this a standard practice for you? Why or why not? What would make this better?

If you reach the limit, I heard of investors who refinance a block of houses into a commercial loan so they can keep on buying.

I tried to rpeview and it failed. IE7

Well said Steve. No one ever wants to be responsible for themselves in this Nanny state. This tenant should have never taken this apartment.

Did the tenant use the rent to pay someone to make rapairs? Does he have reciepts? Ofcourse not. He didn't pay because he thought he could get away with not paying by using the excuse that the apartment is in bad shape beacuse of things like: "there is rust on the sink and there isn't proper AC."

I largely see the benefit of a tankless hot water heater as energy savings. There is some debate as to how much longer they actually last. They have a higher combustion effeciency and you don't have to have 30-50 gallons of water constantly heated on standby.

In consideration of a rental, I would not pay between $1,500 to $2,000 for tankless instead of $500-600 tank per unit for replacement. All you will be doing is lowering your tenants gas bill and saving some energy.

Unless you are a hard core believer in Global Warming (an obivous hoax, no scientific consensus) like SOME people in Tennessee do, I would just put in the standard tank kind.

In your own home, you would need to do a cost benefit analysis of the savings in energy bill and replacement cost over the longer lasting and efficeint tank model. This depends substantially on the cost of natural gas in your area.

The tankless water heater is used much more frequently in Socialist places like Europe than America. So be careful there.

One last thing to consider is the new Socialist regime is giving out a lot of money as an incentive to make energy efficent home improvements. It may be worth it if you can get some fake money the Fed prints out of thin air to offset the cost.

Oh one last thing, from a practical standpoint, you have to let the water run for a few seconds before the water will be hot due to the distance from the heater to the faucet. This can influence the location of the installation.

I'm sorry for your situation. This is what you get for being a liberal/socialist in a socialist state.

Tell him you have a relative that needs the apartment. Tell him that your relative needs to move in asap. If he is willing to move out by June 1st, you will pay him 1 or 2 months rent cash money after he is out.

If you are not comfortable with a hand gun, consider pepper spray or a tazer.

The problem with anti-virus software packages like Norton and McAfee is they are worse than actual viruses.

And, McAfee has/was always considered lower quality than Norton.

The myriad free anti- virus/spam/mal/etc software is better than both McAfee and Norton.

Excellent analysis!!1 Finally someone with the guts to say it like it is! All those socialists try to say how during Clinton's tenure America had the longest period of sustained and uninterupted eonomic growth and relative peace. BUT in reality he was just creating problems that whole time that Bush had to resolve! And thats the reason he spent so much fake money. You can only avoid problems for so long, everyone knows that. Inflation is terrible and its Clinton's fault, I think thats pretty obvious.

I just can't wait for 2012 so we can get this bum out of office who created this huge economic crisis and is responsible for the coming run-away inflation. This guy is like Clinton on steriods! We are going to need 16 years of Bush type leadership to overcome Obama!!! Let's face it, if he isn't gone in 2012 (or impeached sooner), the government is going to dissolve, making county sherriffs the highest legal authority which is the way is should be anyway. No more income taxes finally (which are illegal)! I for one am stocking up on assault rifle ammo and canned food.

This is very useful, not only for time, but also for quality. Images uploaded to Craigslist have lower quality than images hosted elsewhere.

Thanks for the tip!

Nice to see that you fixed the all caps problem!

I think Carlton Sheets knows how to start in REI with no money down.
