I'll be responding to your email soon and we'll set up a day to get that coffee.

However if you are talking larger projects like a 100+ unit building or a shopping center it is harder to get something substantially below market.

There isn't one person on the planet who is going to go shopping for a rehab home done by Turn Key Kick *** Eat Off the Floor Rehab Homes, LLC and pass on everything else until they get one of those babies into escrow.

If you don't like Stanley Steemer's price, then shop around, use coupons, find a cleaning contractor who's hungry for work.This is the time to find a creative solution that saves you money AND gets the job done right.

Those couldn't just up and leave too easily like private landlords could. ...Lots of those "large corporations" will require that the tenant prospect puts up the security deposit (and first month's rent) when they submit an application to rent - they do not want the applicants to be "shopping around" further while the application is pending, they want that applicant to be committed to their building.

Then again my advice and $.99 will probably get you a cup of coffee.

Just go to Google, click "shopping" at the top, and search for "carbon monoxide detector".

Great advice, Thomas.If folks would brown bag their lunch, brew their own coffee and avoid car payments, they'd be miles closer to achieving their goals.Thanks also for the book recommendation.

If I were renting your place I would want it near other tourist draws like Fredericksburg wineries and shopping or the Guadalupe river or a ranch that does guided trail rides. 

Close to colleges, hospitals, shopping, great schools, etc.Lately, we've been throwing around the idea of creating/building an accessory unit/small cottage on our land and renting it out like a regular rental.
