The religious order pays the rent and the process of paying it is a pain, but it's not a money issue, it's their internal procedures.

I use the bigger pockets calculators religiously, and I tent to estimate 5% across the board for CapEx, Vacancy, Repairs and then play with my numbers and go all the way up to 10% to see what sort of impact that would have as well.

My core belief - make sure you have cash flow.

However, everyone has their own opinion based on their own beliefs or past experiences. 

:-) If you haven't started doing this already, I recommend listening to the BP podcast "religiously"--including listening to the older episodes you can find in the feed.

What it mainly takes is the due diligence to read deep into what and why certain investors invest where they do, and seeing if you align with those particular belief systems.

However, you didn't pick up on the subtleties of what I was getting at earlier.You are correct in your belief that your wife will get the property if you pass away.

I love doing what I do, and I would not trade places with anyone, nor trade my life experiences for anyone else’s.I am driven by the belief that life is short, and we need to ‘make a difference’ in the short time that we’re here, because after all is said and done, it’s really not about ‘us.’I am a Real Estate Investor.

I know I still have a lot to learn and that is why I'm excited to be a part of BP and to continue to learn and grow from this forum as well as my own trials in the real world.I think there are a lot of good take aways and points from me to learn from in each post and I'm excited to continue diving deeper into BP and to continue to take a bit away from everything I learn and formulate my own beliefs and plans.

Sometimes they have a singular belief that they themselves can't move past (MB2 canals all should be referenced to endo only comes to mind).
