Things such as; toilet paper, drinking water, pet supplies, linens and hot tub chemicals and cleanings that we didn't initially factor into our Pro Forma's..The costs of these are real, but even realer are the stocking, cleaning and preparing a space for visitors in a few hours between check ins.

And there is no need to guess at it or pretend that Cash Flow has to be completely positive all the time.What I'm trying to do is to bring this horse (the Cash Flow Only crowd) to the water, but I cannot make them drink (educate yourself in the calculations so you don't have to be afraid of a negative cash flow).To me, if you buy based on either positive or negative current cash flow, then you are just not taking into account the true worth of your potential investment.

Not everyone can sit on the beach for 3 weeks sipping a drink and sunbathing. 

If I were to rank them, I'd rate the following: NYC/Boston (Not really into drinking and partying, but love the energy and diversity of NY and the intellectualism of Boston)Philadelphia (The History and just East Coast in general)Chicago/D.C.

I don't really do meet ups anymore, but would be open to a drink or coffee.

My roommate agreement specified things like: furnished or unfurnished, maximum occupancy- limiting number of overnight guests as it's bills paid roommate living, if it's co-ed or single sex, no smoking vaping e-cigs or substances on the property, cleaning chores/expectations, no underage drinking, pet rules, what utilities are included up to what limits and what utilities aren't included, etc.Require a security deposit from each roommate, even if small.Get a locking thermostat cover; set utility allowances so people won't take advantage of "all bills paid" rooms and have the daughter/master tenant or whoever is paying the utility bills be the person who sets the utilities.

You CAN drink the water!

And that they would buy me a drink if I got there.

I was being nice and hell even offered to buy you a drink.
