I'm guessing there wasn't excessive damage?

Do you realize to replace all the cast Iron pipes in a slab home cost in excess of $20k.

If any costs, including vacancy are excessive, then your total costs will exceed 50% - this does happen to landlords in real life, so it's not unheard of.As I posted earlier, direct your 50% rule and 2% rule questions to those other sticky threads - you'll get more people chiming in.And both sets of revised calculations (one with 50% expenses, the other 40%) seem to be correct (I didn't plug in numbers into a calculator, just looked at how you got the results).

Many of the private investors, equity groups, hedge funds and private money funds do have due diligence fees, since their lending practices for the most part are unregulated.I have in excess of 700 direct lenders I deal with... many have no fees, while others have fees in the $1000-$1500 range.

In what scenario would emergency responders not reach you before you starved to death.This just seems rather excessive concern.

Your ads are considered "Ghosted" This is a Craigslist automated process that picks out ads with excessive spam type keywords, or are heavily littered with links , or images above their norm.

Advise the plumber that you will put into your review of him that his charges were excessive and outrageous, and you will even publish the amounts and services performed so that others won't be treated so shabbily.

Apparently, one of the requirements to be a moderator is to be excessively good looking?

:D There's kinda cashflow and then there's cashflow (Just like mostly dead and all dead).I will say this - if a person can start from the 1% perspective, they will very quickly eliminate a lot of shark realtors and developers and will actually start to find an area where cashflow in excess of the 1% is possible.

Operating expenses include taxes, insurance, management, maintenance, vacancy expenses, advertising, utilities paid by the owner (at least during vacancies, rehab, etc), evictions, court costs, entity maintenance, legal fees, common area upkeep, lawn care, snow removal, office supplies, damage done by the tenants (in excess of the deposit), lawsuits, capital expenses (although not technically an operating expense), etc, etc, etc.
