You can further mitigate risks with items like a home warranty, sewer line warranty, etc that will cover big ticket items.

For anyone who's serious about getting into multifamily, I'm selling my discounted ticket to Veena Jetti's Masterclass!

While these fees are higher than purchasing another rental property, it's a tradeoff to investing in a passive real estate investment and not having to put more money into capital calls if there were big ticket items needing repairs in a rental.Conner JacksonTangible Wealth Solutions

If you have time constraints fly back the same dayDon’t let a $500’ticket keep you from protecting your investment!!

I’m having some big tickets items expenses popping up, replacing at my rentals.

But this is why I've been telling you to focus on the cost vs return - imagine someone wanted to give you $13K (lottery, gift, whatever), but you had to buy a $1000 plane ticket to go pick it up.

They simply issue you a ticket and if you don't show up for court, the ticket becomes a warrant.

I finally got them to open a ticket and push it through, only to get an email the next day saying they couldn't find a vendor and that I'm welcome to take care of it myself. 

The biggest mistake I see is to worry too much about the cost of things like lawn mowing and water bill and the exact percentage for vacancies, but not being enough aware of the general condition of the property - resulting in 20k, 50k or more in capex a few years down the road.My advice: look for a quality property that has all the big-ticket items already done.

In Pittsburgh, the price for public transportation is 3% below the state average with bus tickets to get almost anywhere in the city being only around $3 and the monthly pass being just under $100.
