I have enough in the pot now to buy and hold a property and still have money to keep the rehab business going along w/ the asstance of private investors and hard money.

I have started reading up on investing and I am looking all over the net I am going to join my local REIA club.

For my 4 properties, we cash flow about $3000/month that goes into a pot that we just grow and grow and use to buy other properties.  10% CAPEX, in our experience, is a bit much and frankly unnecessary.  

Yes, you still need a separate pot for repairs and maintenance because you will save your capex funds for large repairs. 

If I can gain at least one golden nugget of knowledge it's worth it, if I find a pot of gold even better.

He will continue to re plenush the "POT"so if you request out he can pay and keep some on the side to pay the monthly % but he will be keeping all the profits.

Needless to say the neighbors are ecstatic.I removed an amateur pot dealer who guarded his stash with two 80 lb Pit Bulls who regularly got through the fence and into the family neighborhood.

In other words, I need to “**** or get off the pot”.

It also is becoming a melting pot for young professionals.
