I like to have at least $400/ month gross flow cause I don’t have a high paying W-2 or fat bank account if something pops up.

In fact, I wish agents would just stamp a big fat I for issues on the first picture of the house to make it easier.

@Paul ColemanI would also be careful chasing depreciation and make sure it’s a sound investment.I believe in the applewood foreclosures the investors got bonus depreciation then lost their entire investment then guess what happened, they got the double whammy of having to pay back that depreciation so not only did they lose their entire investment but they had to cut Uncle Sam a big fat check

On the plus side, it eventually enabled us to get a FAT HELOC which we used for other investments.  

I sell and implant pacemakers and defibrillators for a living, so we use automated technology for 90% of our communications with guests and the cleaners.Ok, rant over.

It is alot of work, mainly just getting up and down alot (hard on a fat boy) but not very difficult as far a skills go.

"The owners eye makes a fat calf."

So long as we tax “income” we’ll always have a fat bloated pig like organization to determine what everyone’s “income” is (that isn’t a W2 worker bee)

So if we shave a little fat off Dodd Frank, Mr Banker can start playing like its 2004 again.

I finally figured out what happened....Our wonderful Gov Charlie Crist has a great idea to cut our property taxes and try to get the local governments to cut the fat and run efficiently.
