Dude… 3000K miles away and the blue collar have you over a barrel.

being an absentee landlord is HARD work… Hardly passive and hardly for a lazy man.

Those newspapers/magazines hardly ever give you a link though. At least they actually typed out your address so that is actually already quite good.

I don’t mean to hi-jack this but you are talking about a normal gas or electric water heater for a “normal” family residence (3-5 people using it)?

Just trying to help you out some. I have put in 3 or so electric ones in my life (including plumbing)and never over $250 for everything.

Again sorry for taking this off subject and I understand you are probably paying for the “time and speed” factor also.

The water heater than requires all the piping removed and reinserted with a day of labor and all the associated taxes and such.

It’s for the tenants property 3000 miles away and I’m legally bound to have it fixed quickly. It’s not like I have the advantage of shopping around.

What water heater in the world costs $1150?
Do you bathe in gold water?

“1) There’s nothing I can do here, I’m dependent on the policies of all the other parties. 2) The responsibility falls on my shoulders as the landlord and 3) Each time I think I solve the issue, another one appears.”

While I love the idea of passive income, landlords often downplay the struggle between maintenance and finding good tenants. You are much better off speculating on raw land that will some day be developed into a subdivision or a Wal-Mart.Instant gratification it’s not, but a great investment it is!

I agree with you about The Loop. When the show came back on, I thought my memory was faulty. They did take the fun out of that show. I thought perhaps it was on a nother network and the Fox bought it and ruined it… but I guess it was always Fox…?

I’ve always liked the shows with Andy Richter (Controls The Universe, and Andy Barker, and of course, classic Conan).

Congratulations on getting married… good luck with that!!
