Consideration, your EM deposits, this is a gray area as to what is reasonable, but reasonable for real property is never ten dollars or a promise to kiss your baby. 

Hi Everyone, One of my tenants in a triplex are a married couple with a baby and two dogs.

Full time job, landlord, new baby, etc., you don't need extra stress. 

Our lease prohibits a tenant from changing the locks, if they do because of some serious reasons (a stalker, psycho girl/boyfriend) I get a good working key and the old locks (which are on my master key system).

"Invest as if you have no money and invest as if the market will crash tomorrow"I forgot who or where i read or listen to this but i am pretty much optimizing my portfolio base on the above and ask this very question on every single investment purchase now. and Yes, according to Grant, Robert Kiyosaki, Petter Shiff, Trump, etc...there real crash is just around the corner. the 2008 one is just a baby one.I believe them. and prepare every single minute now. 

South Dakota fella, I love how you think I'm some naive girl who lives in Mayberry but I  grew up in Belfast, NYC and the Bronx in the 1970s, I was an inner city social worker and I have concealed carry. 

I  worked on baby steps for almost 15 years to get into  "real" development.

I actually had a teacher tell me not to bother with math or science if I found it slightly hard, those aren't for girls anyway.

(I'm a girl and don't need to see well enough to aim so long as I can find the seat. 

She finally bought her own home with no stairs in it for her mom.I would have loved to have kept every house, but like kissing pretty girls, as much as I would have loved to have kept every one it was not really possible.
