You pass on enough maintenance costs like this to your tenants in the interest of saving your time and money, you'll be posting about how your mean and cruel tenants unloaded fifty pounds of concrete down your stack just before they disappeared in the middle of the night and you're now stuck with a 10 grand bill to run a new line in, how could they possibly be so cruel and mean to you?

i come from the old school where equity was king and now am having some difficulty borrowing on an investment single family home with fifty percent down because of our debt to income ratio...i always worked to avoid paying taxes...

Fifty cents more if I pay someone to fold and stuff etc. 

If you'll allow me to rant one more time about this fact...The difference between the Pro and the Almost Pro account is 100.00 a year as the PRO is 150....IMHO everyone who reads, learns, is obsessed with, has BP saved as a favorite, home page or has their password saved in roboform should spend the buck fifty a year and promote the site.After all the amount of free crap around here is crazy and worth a ton more then 150.00 a year..What is 150, four dimes and a penny each day.

So you might be able to recoup fifty bucks if you are lucky.This is actually why it is important for investors to really learn about properties...not just the financial metrics of running them, but all the functional stuff too.  99% of home inspectors are just not good.  

For all other actions on behalf of the co-ownership, the Co-owners shall be bound by the vote of those Co-owners holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the undivided interest in the property.

One out of fifty is about the going rate for offers/ deals,  I think.

Until 2008, the majority of Greeks in the capital under fifty years of age were way too good to do any of their own residential maintenance or repair.

If someone is in the street shooting at my house, fifty feet away, no pepper spray or tazer will reach, but one round of 12 guage number twos sure will.

Make a list of fifty people you know, then go talk to them.
