The rest of the day - food with family and friends, ran numbers on a wholesale deal (that was sold by the time I called), TV, more food, more TV.

I just read it in a book from late night tv!

Agree that having a blow dryer and space heater is too much load but breaker also trips with just lights and TV on.

There are a few bad apples in every bunch but the majority of them are sweet!

However, I think that it's apples and oranges for me because I can either put 25% down on 4 houses using $200,000, or, I can use the $200k to get one flip going.

If your numbers are correct, and it's apples to apples...sounds like negative leverage, where your cost of funds is higher than the cap rate.

If you are responsible for the fees to list the property on VRBO and other advertising sites, and are the one who takes calls for items that break or to provide help with turning on the TV, then 20% is definitely way too much.

A TV, a car, some argue a primary house, clothes, vacations, etc.

Old tv's, appliances, furniture...just shtuff...in the hallways...and the basement?

Compare apples to apples and listen
