Ex: offer to put up their open house signs, offer to door knock for them or cold call expired/withdrawn listings.  

I see absurd maintenance/cap ex numbers from a majority of RE investors (even those with modest experience).  

How much do you  have to settle for your ex wife?

does HOA have adequate funding for this and other cap ex items.  

They were good at taking your money and timely kicking out certificates of insurance, but if you have a claim, that is a different story.While they paid a fire claim (an ex-lover of the tenant set the dwelling on fire, because the tenant purportedly broke up with him) NREIG made it difficult, and attempted to undervalue the claim on the basis the property was not properly insured.  

I said, Joe, I thought you were an ex-ray  tech.

An ex-spouse. 

My numbers don’t include cap ex, maintenance or vacancies.

Single family homes regardless of market  are very inefficient to operate to begin with but the lower price point homes are disproportionately impacted by ordinary upkeep maintenance, repairs and cap ex because they struggle to absorb these costs (some of which are fixed or close to fixed regardless of whether this is  $100,000 house or $300,000 house). 

You will have basically no cap ex or maintenance expense and will be able to raise rents by the time any of these expenses start.
