@Leo Kotschenreuther for big ticket items, I was taking those in account based on items projected from the inspection, which was about 7.5k over the next 2 years. 

For every can of food you donate you get a ticket, many of the vendors give out tickets as well nd there is a drawing at the end of the night.  

A 3/1 will hardly rent and a 2/1 caps out around $750 no matter where it is.Rooms are the hot ticket right now.

I found a group of Uruguayans on line and I learned:Large ticket items are priced in US dollars.

Another factor is that the price per sqft actually goes up when you build smaller, as you still have the big-ticket items that cost more.

I'd almost say your logic is beyond faulty -- its dangerous.Rather -- and I would not say this applies to Dante, specifically -- but the habits we take going into a deal mean far more than the deal itself.You cannot make money if you cannot align your income and expenses properly.You cannot make money if you overspend/spend more than what you make.You cannot make money if you are undisciplined in financial and operational matters -- you may be able to show short profits, but I think long-term success is highly predicated on proper planning, forecasting, adjusting, and action.To me seeking out a profitable deal to "right the ship" is like buying an advanced set of lottery tickets.

You can also use capital expenditures (CapEx) for bigger-ticket items, such as a new roof or HVAC system, to deduct from your taxable income.

Yeah was at the game.Had a buddy that was able to get me and the wife in for less than the $800-900 each that the STANDING room tickets were going for!

@Arlen ChouI had to do some rearranging, but I got ticket today and am looking forward to meeting people, learning and hopefully will be able to make some first moves in my investment career.

What shape is the infrastructure and are there any big ticket items?
