The rehab was complete, and we were ready to refinance when disaster struck—a car crashed into the property the week we were scheduled to refinance.

Otherwise it would be like giving your teenage kid a new car, which he crashes, and you just buy him another one without talking about responsibilty and consequences. 

For my car, I saved $200 a year on insurance by not getting coverage for my front windshield (which when I did have it replaced cost me...$200).  

  $31k after tax annual income - $11k rent = $20k or $1,600 per month net income left to cover all other expenses (utilities, cars, insurance, groceries, kids, activities, etc.).Median household income for 38128 is $41k or $36k after tax

- Can't tell you how many tenant background checks show they are buying lemon cars with 25% "we finance anyone" car loans that are designed to fail. - All they've got to learn is to save some of their income to pay their bills on time and they could then afford to buy a home.Instead, they spend every penny they make on things they don't really need and then blame everyone else.Take a look at a Class C or D tenant's bank statement to see the frivolous things they spend their money on and you'll better understand our society's biggest problem.

My definitions of the classes are (someone else might have different opinion):Class A - higher property prices, low crime, highly rated schools, tenants and homeowner usually higher income (although if the owner bought years ago they could be lower income), streets are well kept, yards maintained, no run down cars parked in street. 

Dont get me wrong I like to have nice experiences you know stop and smell the roses I am not a money hoarder per se I will take trips that many would deem extravagant and or the big one on BP is CARS  so many like to talk about the 10 year old 300k mile car they still drive.. myself I buy a new car once it needs new tires :). 

Personal expenses- car?  

So when you need to go check on things, rent units, meet contractors, etc, you're jumping in the car for 6 hours, spending 1hr there, and I'm thinking after a full days's work. 

I unfortunately blocked two plots and paid 20% for both and now it is almost 2 years and there is no response at all from Wagner or the builders :(-------The house will come with stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, hood, refrigerator, and range.3 Bedrooms2 Bathrooms2 Car garage 1323Sq/ftThe price of this property is $198,000.00 with a 20% due at contract and the remaining 80% could be paid via conventional financing or cash.
