After all PITI, utility, and services (lawncare and cleaning) costs I have $7,225.I set aside 25% of this for my maintenance fund.The remainder funds my lifestyle, wife has a Tesla, and quarterly vacations as well as business growth.In 2023 I am tracking to build 4 duplex units designed as room rentals funded in part from a recent land sale.
