One reason is to invest in the land my ancestors came from and contribute to conserving the culture.

Now I am currently seeking to advance my career as a remote property manager and am very interested in the opportunity to contribute to your team.

Rather find a partner who will contribute same as you and you hire a GC strictly to perform the work.

I won't be able to give away and contribute as much as they did until I know as much.

Hi Bonnie, thanks for contributing your experience.

Like for most others, this is part of the contribution bucket of my life and, by answering in the forum, I can help multiple readers at the same time.Unfortunately, that limits the time I have to give free advice through other channels but I've done it multiple times when I could.

You now know your cash flow and what you can take out.Investors' problems sometimes include not budgeting correctly for repairs and maintenance and not factoring in a set amount that they will be contributing to their reserve account for CapEx (if you have CapEx repairs coming up sooner than later, put away more money into reserves now).To summarize, factor in all expenses and your monthly deposit into your reserve account before calculating your monthly cash flow.

If you are living at home, contributing the household (eg paying your parents rent, paying for food) for a few years that may be fine. 

The only way you can come up with a figure of 50% of Americans being on "these programs" is by including Social Security in those programs, something we all contributed to. 

Providing beach chairs, umbrellas, and a cooler can enhance the guest experience and contribute to glowing reviews if your property is near the beach.
