I've been to a number of REAPS north meals n' deals meetings and the monthly main meeting a bunch.  

Earn enough money to not worry about where my next tank of gas, or meal will come from.

They can go up to a year between meals before they die.

I'm ready to start my first meal in campaign.

It is like when you get a bad meal at a restaurant.

I still eat through a tube but my wife has been giving me fortified liquid food by Ensure with two scoops of protein with that day's last meal. 

But grilling up some chicken thighs on Sunday and pairing them with a little sweet potato and broccoli and eating that for lunch (my lunch for today) is going to be much healthier and much less expensive than eating out at your local Panera Bread or Pho Noodle place every day.  

In discussing the deductible expenses with my CPA, I mentioned having records for travel related to repairs I performed at the property, plus my meal receipts (the trips were entirely business related). 

Your cash flow you think you have try paying for plane costs, meals,hotel, etc. going down to fix a problem because you can't get a response back.I do not buy low end turn key but if you look through bigger pockets archives you will see time after time where people lost money. 

For a conservative investor, these would be more like "side dishes" than the "main meal", but for an aggressive investor, it would be okay to take bigger helpings.
