Yep, water spins the opposite way; I legitimately had a (semi)domesticated kangaroo that lived in my front yard growing up; and yes, even our plants try and kill you. 

We are expanding into the Nevada and would love a QE that is not using their license or semi retired.

I'm in a semi small town in Central Texas.

I am a small business owner with a semi-seasonal business.

Said differently:  you want to be at $1k/mo rent but ideally >$1100/mo, working income backwards to need semi skilled workers to afford that rental. 

But if your in flat to semi flat appreciation markets which could describe most of the US as the prices seemed to have topped in most areas.. then you really need to look at your fixed expenses and see where it all falls out.

I am currently looking in the Midwest and have semi pieced together a team out there.

You can make it semi transparent so it doesnt take over the picture.

It truly is semi-passive income.

You need to calculate it as investment income - expenses (including annual taxes and income taxes on your gains) - increased equity (loan paydown - that is part of your profit, but it isn't part of your cashflow)If you are looking at this on only a monthly basis, you'll miss annual or semi-annual costs or seasonal variations.
