I have just begun working my way through the Bigger Pockets podcasts and related reading, and splurged on the Pro membership for the calculator help.

From a more general landlord if perspective, splurge and buy the BP book ‘managing rental properties’ (the yellow one).

Still pay myself what I consider a modest salary and my couple splurges this year was an economical family vacation to Colorado for a week (done on a tight budget like I always do - first vacay in 2-3 years) and a maybe once in a lifetime antelope hunt I was offered) and then a used vehicle so I actually have room to have staff with me and not have to ask them to drive. 

Between my full time job and my graduate school classes, I am going to splurge a little and let a flooring company correct the damage :) My time (and patience) needs to be used elsewhere rather than struggle to make subfloor level again (that's my least favorite real estate project thus far...)

I'm of the belief that if u put more into the property u will have better pool of tenants to choose from and a higher rent (if the house is not in a good area that's another story)I'm actually in the same situation as u, my problem now is picking the right person, everyone that came here liked the place, I kind of splurged and hated to see my money bleeding while doing different fixes BUT it feels good to have people love your house and agree to your asking price!

I money pinch and save like nobody's business, and although love nice things, I am big on not splurging on much of anything.

I splurged and bought a used Cadillac a couple years back.

By the way I’m talking about money spent beyond your basic necessities aka splurging. 3.This one is for beginners when do you think you will get to that point where you can say you have made it?

Sell one house and take the money and let her spend/splurge the money... take her on a fabulous vacation and make her very happy and negotiate a deal...She wants to sell so she can spend and enjoy the money while you are both young enough to enjoy it.

Some of the more obvious factors are of course the slowing down of the release of inventory coupled with a splurge of new buyers entering the market because of low interest rates.
