@David Dey  is correct that a contractor will have a spread in their bid (I interpret spread as overhead and profit) - after all, they are running a business... therein, in part, is their monetary skin in the game.  

An added benefit is the monetary savings of doubling down on classes for those two years--Dual Enrollment tuition is covered by the county under the HS program (again, maybe this is unique to FL, and we did pay for books and supplies).

First off, the housing collapse was (in a simplified manner) 2 MAIN actions: a housing SURPLUS (and a massive one at that) AND a significant monetary contraction.

Looking forward to the next post on the monetary value.I know its very positive.

A bigger why than monetary return for me has always been to be a conscious LL and seller. 

These duties may include a monetary expense and always include the time required of you or your manager.MaintenanceOwning a rental property involves managing routine and emergency maintenance.

To achieve success in anything, you are going to have to break out of your monetary mindset/training and see a bigger and larger vision of what you are capable of! 

I think that the happiness you receive when you can spend more time with your family and away from the draining job has a much higher monetary value than most people would give it. 

Typically what you win is a monetary judgement which gives the tenant ten days to pay up.
