And Grandma already bought $20 worth of Scratcher Lotto tickets with the money and won $50--is that Sam's $50?

@Justin MangesCapex are big ticket items like roof, HVAC, plumbing and windows etc.

A friend of mine says that getting some short-terms in the summer months near Grand park in Westfield is the ticket, but I would just be concerned about the off-months.

Real estate is the ticket to freedom.

This limits large ticket surprised down the road. 8.

We only plan to hold our CA units for about another 5-ish years, so we're not setting money aside for some of the bigger ticket items (like roof), because they won't go bad before we sell. 

House Location: UT (Im in california) I just took a trip to meet up with the realtor team I've been dealing with.This house is a foreclosure (someone started to flip this and it foreclosed) All big ticket items are new.Asking price $92,500 (I'd be offering $85,000 to start)To finish the rehab: $10,000Comps for the area are $120,000Realtor is pretty confident He could sell for $130,000I have enough equity in my current house to do the deal alone, just looking for other options, offers to do this without pulling money out of my house.Thank you for everyones input ahead of time!

In August 2013 We had tenants at another home report that the AC wasn't working,  They moved in Aug 1, and this trouble ticket came in on the 2nd.  

The sponsor is the organizer of the fund - The entity whose properties you are buying tickets/shares of. 

As as exception, big ticket items that won't displace the tenant or their belongings are free game.
