Food, medicine, lights, gas, water, rent.  

This is going to lead to open house opportunities, co-listing opportunities and possibly, a buyer lead here and there to keep food on the table.

The husband has never paid for any of the expenses of the home.The husband is a hoarder and lover of feral cats, which he attracts by leaving food outside for them to eat.

At the very least the $250 a month will get you food or help you contribute if you temporarily move in with a friend, children and family.

My passion for food has been in the Foreground for most of my life, but my Dad was a great inspiration in the real estate dreams that I have.

Here's what I figured out when I add up my weekly costs:$100 for hotel$100 for food, gas, etc.$550 per week in lost rent$750 per week is what it cost me to own the triplex in both actual and opportunity cost.5 days (normal work week) of my labor (40 hours) will take me about 1 months worth of weekends to complete.

Excellent food for thought.
