Some things to keep in mind are: mortgage (unless all cash purchase), utilities, cap ex (term stands for capital expenditures meaning large ticket items such as roofs, windows, plumbing, etc.) monthly maintenance, HOA (home owners association) if necessary, legal, accounting, vacancy.

For me, I have no intent on using insurance as a lottery ticket.

We have booked our plane tickets to visit Kansas City MO for a few days at the end of the month to see some sites, eat some BBQ, and meet some players in the KC real estate market.

Those numbers look good - what did the inspector say about big-ticket maintenance items coming up?

, CapEx (big ticket items that happen occasionally) and possibly management and HOA?  

So, not entirely free travel.I can buzz down the busy streets here in town, but after hours, there are "curzing zones" if you're caught on that street more than once going in one direction, you get a ticket for crusing, not reall free to travel.

I'd love to hear your just because stories as well.Thanks in advance The next plateau will be to buy a ticket on a trip around the moon ... two seats are already sold.

With your accounting practice though you have something most people can't offer and if you truly find some good workarounds that most people don't know about well now you have a ticket into just about any real estate investor anywhere and probably every service provider to boot.

CAPEX - dependent on age of home, calculate base on age of big ticket items (water heaters, AC, roof, etc)4.

Tickets range from 250 to say 600 basically any time of the year and it's a 3:30 flight and central time.
