Having a 2% RTP ratio but no rent growth or appreciation means any cash faux is eaten up by inflation and capEx.2. 

I'm sorry, but if you are "living" off of your cash flow (faux), you are not an investor.

. - I lock up just a few personal belongings, like laptops,  jewelry and  personal/financial information.  

I was single, exhausted, and had extremely limited friend/family time.Here are some items I flipped on eBay (focused on vintage/higher end electronics): I was able to put 10% down ($45K) on the 2nd house hack: #2Purchase Price: $412,500WHAT WENT WRONG AT PROPERTY #1 AND #2 IN LESS THAN 4 YEARS: (Keep in mind, both properties are from the 1970's)Property #1: - Water heater leak (replaced) (approx. $1,900 replacement)- Brand new replacement water heater then leaked less than 1 year later (was leaking for multiple days before I was aware, $2,500 to fix properly)- Old shower handle fell off, exposing old piping that was "about to burst" per plumber ($750 replacement) - Kitchen sink leak ($250 repair) - Old breaker panel replacement (approx. $2,000) - Fence post fix ($350) - New Furnace ($5,500) - Bird infestation removal resealing attic ($850)- New Vapor Barrier in crawl space ($975)Property #2: - New Water Heater ($2,000) - Repaired main water line ($950)- Hot tub removal ($600) - Tree removal ($1,235) - Bathroom fan replacement ($500) - Towel Bar replacement ($150) - New microwave ($450) - Pergola removal ($400) - (Due to damage from roofing materials crushing part of it during a strong wind) - New Roof ($13,695)I have probably missed a few items as well..... 

one of my partners bought two of these in 2012 ish I think at the bottom of the cycle for just over 100k each 4 plex they were wrecks he put about 60k into each.. and the cash flow or cash Faux was so spuratic he just donated them to his foundation.. now not every one has a foundation like he does .. but he did much better on the 150 to 170k SFR's he bought at the time.. they doubled and the tenants actually paid.. this is rough stuff so got to be careful..  

Knowing you do not have vintage leases above market fixing to roll down and be renegotiated or the tenant leaves to a cheaper per sq ft base rent center in a similar quality of location.If you have 20,000 sq ft for instance with 10 tenants a balance of smaller spaces is better.

I'm working on developing a niche rv park using vintage campers in NY.wondering if you had any luck getting started :O)

We were full time RVers for four years and we've owned a few vintage campers.

@Jewelry Whetstone thank you for that information
