The house with a view also has a pool table and hot tub, but that's standard for the area.I'm not providing anything consumable like gift baskets or event tickets or anything like that.

Curious, how long these bigger ticket items (furniture, appliances) are lasting for everyone.  

Because of the unpredictability of ticket sales, they have to leave at least 2, sometimes as many as 4 or 5 flights as options to get to work on time. 

Stupid me I forgot to pay a parking ticket and it showed up on my credit.

Six hours later at 14-8-2015-18:22 we responded for you to provide the new domain name for update (ticket 53124) .

Do not include Disneyland tickets, parasailing and snorkeling activities, etc.  

All I have done so far is SFH's and  land but if the banks wouldn't loan me a dime and my credit cards all disappeared I can still cover any big ticket items with no real hardship .   

For PM managed houses the manager takes care of maintenance and collecting rent, we pay taxes and cut a check if we have a bigger ticket expense.  

I have a extra ticket for any investor who is interested or familiar with beltline.

(Heater in the winter in the midwest / NE for instance).As you scale up, it becomes easier to stomach, but having 1-2 properties, a big ticket item can really put a dent into your plans.I'm not advocating going overboard and saving 20K a property etc (as that would quickly eat into your purchasing power for more property), but make sure you have some money set aside and a plan.
