What were the start up costs and recurring fixed costs associated with the LLC?

Mehran Kamari This is my first time hearing about a DTI ratio and just from quickly reading over some simple definitions of it I don't have much recurring monthly debt (less than $100) as I haven't graduated so I don't have to pay back any loans yet.

For example, I love the idea of purchasing a Dollar General with a 10-15 year NNN lease with a cap rate of 7%+ but I'm guessing I couldn't come up with the cash for the down payment.I'm interested in long term investments that would help cover college or retirement 15+ years from now as well as shorter term investments that provide modest recurring cash flow.As far as capital, it depends.

An “annual valuation period” is an annually recurring period of not more than 90 days that begins no later than the anniversary of an entity’s initial valuation date.

Make sure you understand all the up-front costs associated with getting licensed, as well as the post-licensing costs and any recurring costs that come after that. 

Lower delinquency rates for people who pay with recurring online payments and you get rid of the "I forgot" excuse for good.

Search the forums for lots of discussion on the topic.But, to be succinct, imagine buying a $1M fourplex that generates $8500/m in gross income.Now, make a spreadsheet to figure out what each of the following could be:"Cash Flow" - The amount of money left in your bank account at the end of the month (ignoring reserves and non-recurring expenses)Free Cash Flow - The amount of money you can count on at the end of the year (allocating $ for reserves, vacancy, etc)Total Return - The amount that your net worth will increase by holding the investment (includes free cash flow + gains from paying down mortgage principal)Total Projected Return - The amount that your net worth will increase, based on market projections (includes projected gains/losses due to housing market price changes, development/value add for the property, or changes in CAP rate).IRR - Wrap it all up for the expected length of time you'll hold the property to see how it'll perform overall and to compare it to properties in other locales.Now, adjust all those for your personal tax situation to figure out whether it's a good investment for you.For San Diego, you should be able to look at different situations to see why it makes sense for some people to invest there.I haven't yet seen broad agreement on exactly what to call each of those terms *for REI* - there's a difference in terms that real estate finance pros use vs. how us mere mortals speak.  

.- Not willing to add yet a recurring cost-----------------With the above I went with Wyzecam, a recent startup building cute little cameras, wifi connected, 1080, night vision, extremely clear pictures, real-time stream, motion detecting with sensitivity adjustment, sound detection, 24-hour sliding recordings, all for $20 with no subscription needed.
