I ran into my mentor and business partner because I was brave enough to go to networking events and talk to people, despite being scared, not wanting to drive far, and feeling like I was wasting my time.

I have had higher MX/CAPEX expenses than when I ran my original numbers on my current properties, right around the 15% mark, but that was for the first two years of owning my properties.

I ran a hard line (CAT5) to a spare router on the 3rd floor which acted as an access point. 

I haven't had any crazy tenant issues, but as a tenant in my younger days I ran across some weird sh*t. 

Hi BP, I ran across an interesting opportunity in the Houston Area.

I ran across this property that has the potential to be a really good investment but the ENTIRE house has an extremely bad mold issue and it needs major repairs.

I ask because I ran into a problem with melissa data not giving me accurate information on absentee owners list regarding to the actual homeowners residence and the absentee home? 

Using the calculator on an existing property is a little tricky but the numbers I ran show after paying your expenses and setting aside some funds for vacancy, repairs & maintenance, and capital expenses you're still cash flowing slightly under $100/month (even higher if you don't subtract those reserves).

Until I ran into that in one of the sheets I had I was clueless but now it helps quite a bit when I see that ratio as being considered low.
