It's long confused me how Guards does all this domestic stuff but then has to be ready to jump into combat roles.

Using real estate to create safe spaces for women and children escaping domestic abuse — that’s legacy in its purest form.

I am more then happy to pet the neighbors ego, to free up my $ to make my house so much nicer.

And special interest groups are very simple, only one goal: money.The small country of Bhutan offers an inspring take: they talk about Gross Domestic Happiness - and actuelly measure it.

One great activity is what I call the "quick and dirty" way to look. 1) In Airbnb, look up your address in "travel" mode. and see how much competition there is.  2) Look up monthly stays for this coming weekend and for the whole month and see how many vacant units there are.  3) Then use the filters to see if there is a saturation in 2-3-4-5 bedrooms and what amenities might make a difference in your competitive strategy (Ie. in unit laundry, pet friendly, # bathrooms, etc)

Here are a few more:- preventative maintenance access clause as well which allows me to enter unit with "reasonable notice (24 hours)" to conduct inspection and catch leaks- pets to cover liability / damages whenever tenant decides to get a pet :) (ask me how I know)- Tenant responsibility of trash and recycling- No Baby wipes (or anything that can disrupt water flow / clogged drains) in toilets  - No smoking

Also consider the quality of your furnishings: Provide nice towels and linens, and avoid the crinkly plastic mattress protectors (my personal pet peeve as a guest!).

Winter is creeping up, and for those of us managing older multifamily buildings (especially the pre-war stock with steam radiators), heat season is right around the corner.One small, inexpensive improvement I’ve been testing is retrofitting radiators with covers.Here’s why:- Safety: Tenants with kids or pets don’t have to worry about burns.- Efficiency: Covers with reflective backing help direct heat into the room instead of into the wall.- Aesthetics: An old clunky radiator is rarely the best look.

Washer/Dryer and outdoor space go a long way since people are often traveling with the pets.

At the same time, most domestic investors were lost on how to get their accounts compliant, so this eliminated over 90% of the investors who were texting sellers.
