I have an outgoing personality and would like to network as often as possible.

Americans aren't paying their credit cards or car payments so where is the money for the Vegas blow out going to come from? 

They may cut out going out to eat for lunch and dinner and having a Starbucks twice/day, but most will stay in their A class apartment - possibly with a roommate.

Those units aren't even cleaned between tenants, they rely on the outgoing tenants to leave it clean, and if they don't the new tenants don't feel the need to clean thoroughly when they move out. 

The simple courtesy of reaching out goes a long way.2) There exist many municipal, regional, and state rental assistance programs.

We run into serious scheduling issues with the outgoing tenants.The property is not always presented to the perspective tenants in the best condition which causes perspective tenants who would have otherwise wanted the property to look elsewhere.The condition of the property is different than what it will be when the new tenant moves in.

Part of my outgoing cash flow is my mortgage payment. 

Look into ways you can reduce your outgo.

I know I need to account for 100% of the cash out going toward the rental but what counts?
