The management company I've worked with for years merged with another which recently did roll out such a benefit package to my tenants with their lease renewals this year.I tried self-managing back in the beginning (years ago) and made plenty of beginner mistakes - a tenant who turned the spare bedroom into a weed-smoking group meditation room, a tenant who let the oil tank run dry three times (I've since switch all prop to gas), and even my first management company I found was skimming off the top. 

Always be wary of over-leveraging...One bump in the road and your dreams are tanked.

The tax advantages of buying/holding gas stations are pretty great.Many of the components of gas stations including pumps, tanks, external parking areas, and other equipment are classified as either 5 or 15 year property so you can bonus depreciate a lot of it (minus the land value) and get significant deductions in year 1.With the current bonus depreciation rate at 100%, a $1 million gas station acquisition could still lead to $200K+ in year 1 deductions depending on the specifics of your deal.

It was a $2,000 high-efficiency water heater, but it only cost me about $600 for labor and a new expansion tank.

. $150 dumpster fee, $580 maintenance, $100 propane tank, $125 utilities, and $170 miscellaneous.

It is other investors (professionals -often sharks), who would be my concern in a deal like this.

I think you should wash and detail their car once a month , fill up the gas tank and pay for a nice restaurant once a month .Do what is necessary to get rid of this tenant 

By definition an egress window must allow free passage through the window, when opened for a fire fighter fully equipped including with air tank. 

To my surprise, nearly every room—including the basement, living room, kitchen, bedrooms, attic, and bathroom—was filled with personal belongings: couches, a dog crate, fish tanks, dressers, TV stands, eleven tires, and significant trash. 

I bought the property to then realize it was septic tank and I have to pay more than $15.000 to connect to the city sewer. does the inspection company have any kind of responsibility?
