One or all of the three tenants were cooking dinner (none of them wanted to admit who it was), they were frying something in a pan, it flamed up, they then dumped it in the sink and turned on the faucet.

I plan on using the calculators to do some research and present my work to  my wife this weekend over dinner.

Thursday evening was dedicated 1:1 time with my daughter, Friday evening was a family movie night, Saturday was a morning swim class with my daughter and we visited family that evening for dinner and a movie, and Sunday was church and lunch with family followed by some errands and ending with another family movie night.THIS WEEK’S PRO TIPI attend several meetups a month and some of the benefits are targeted networking like finding general contractors, general networking like meeting the person you sit next to, and exposure to new ideas from the speakers.

I have spent more time contemplating where to eat for dinner. 

Extra costs for grabbing a fast dinner of morning coffee instead of cooking because of the long commute.When you add in the extra costs, often your house hold budget will remain the same whether you buy the expensive/close house or the far out cheap house, just instead of higher housing costs you have higher auto/child care/food costs.Plus when you add in the part of your life you loose sitting on the freeway, instead of at your kid's T-Ball game, and your composure when coming home after battling traffic, stressed, etc. you are really giving up a lot of your life.I have had life with a 3 hour commute each way, and the ten minute commute. 

We will be having dinner at the University Club on Friday night and I'd like to have a few folks join us who are active investors or deal makers in the Phoenix area.

We travel, take daily walks together, attend church, assist at the Phoenix mission, garden, hike, keep up on the latest issues, have lunches and dinners with friends, attend family events and sit and stare at the stars.

Hi Jason,Just some random thoughts on this to bring your knowledge up a little.Everyone is different in how they do this--sometimes the lender will dictate certain amounts for certain things.Some people ride motorcycles without a helmet, some always wear seat belts.It also depends on how deep you pockets are, a Policeman owning the same SFH as a Brain Surgeon might want to have more set aside just in case.Some make a CAPEX, list for their guesstimates of CAPEX outlays based on the HUD guidelines in years of service life remaining for each item.But in (for instance) areas of high winds, things like roofing replacements and insurance reimbursements complicate this.You need to budget for turn cost, and wear and tear also, (re: wear and tear; carpet physically wears out over time, vs. renter spilling red paint on it--where you would charge that to the renters security deposit).The costs in the future will either come from the renter or come from YOU, vacancies, wear and tear, equipment failures, etc...The ones that will come from you, need to be budgeted for--unless you have deep pockets and the amounts seem frivolous to your expendable income and you believe you can just cover them easily.Some people can afford to buy their secretary a new car for her birthday, some have their families huddling around the table eating one can of cold beans for dinner--Ole' one can of beans might not be able to meet the financial needs of CAPEX when it comes due unless he sets it all aside ahead of time.Good Luck!

With virtual assistants and temporary office spaces provided, small businesses simply don’t need a physical office anymore. 80% of business can be done though a cell phone on a golf course and the rest at the dinner table with your client.
