Paper Towels (two rolls) ($2-$3 bucks)Toilet Paper (4 pack) (for when moving people forget the basics during a move)Hand Soap ($1.79 I think)Dish Soap ($2.00 or less Dawn)I spent maybe $60 on all of it max.

I just had a client leave me in fact, which doesn't happen ever really, but the root cause similar to this story- the leasing agent allowed a Section 8 tenant to pay their deposit over time instead of requiring a lump sum payment (my company is peppered with "Andrew's Properties" where I'm willing to flex terms for good tenants, and Managed Properties where the rules are firm...this was an error and the agent hasn't been retained for future rentals).

This is sort of the root of syndication deals, which are usually more complicated but essentially pay the syndicator part ownership for finding the deal, putting it together, and managing it.On your question about contacting MF owners directly, yes I've done that successfully in the past.

We will do a local winery red and white or a local brewery growler with root beer etc.

That mess will never be paid off, it will just be part of our growing debt.I am not advocating putting your head in the sand or acting irresponsible, but you should never root against the home team.Regardless of your politics, 4% GDP is awesome.  

I will move out of the Bay Area to plant deeper roots into a community where I see myself living for the next 10+ years (I’ve had my eye on Denver for about 3 years).

My biggest expenses are toilet paper and soap. 

But, you never know when a tree root will plow through your septic system or water line.

I'm exhausted just after writing it, and frankly, I'm absolutely looking forward to finally planting roots and settling down here in LA.

Many great cultural roots here.
