I ate ramen and drank smoothies w/ spinach for fruit/veggies... only spent about $50-60 on food per week. 

Went under one of the side doors to the garage (ate the airbag wires to my wife's car - a $2K fix). 

I/Os don't amortize since you ate not paying down the principal.

The D.C. area is so transient really anywhere should work, the military also pays an insane per diem on mtr, I had a friend who was on assignment and rented a 2bd condo in navy yard for like $7500 a month (I was paying $2700 for a long term for context) they also unrelatedly gave him like a $100 food budget or something per day, this dude ate at every michelin star restaurant in the city lol.

We use our lakes house ate least three weeks out of the year and still have strong cash flow.  

That's like ordering a plate of food at a restaurant and asking for a partial refund because you only ate half the food.

Whoever purchased at $540k is way too close to the ARV of $610-625k.Someone already ate up most of the value-add component of this deal, did you get this from a wholesaler?

Burke, you sure about what you ate there?

It would quickly turn into like $18k.By the time taxes and transaction costs ate most of my gain, I am left with a poor return for the risk and effort. 

So, we ate the cost and now have a no-break guarantee.
