Curious how you arrived at your CMA?

How did you arrive at your figure for capex?  

If you make it through the wall of text that follows, and you have even the smallest insight to offer, I would so very much appreciate it.My wife and I are rapidly learning the ways of wise REI through the help of the BP forums, podcast, books, as well as attending local REIA meetings, networking, market research, and driving for dollars.We've arrived at what I feel is a major pivot point in our lives, and are struggling with the multitude of circumstances life is throwing our way, trying to figure it all out, and set some reasonable goals so that we can move forward in a clear defined direction.I'm going to lay it all out in brutal detail in hopes that someone can make any sense of this and possibly offer some guidance.OUR CURRENT STATUS:I have a day job as an engineer, a freelance business on the side in which I design products for clients around the country, as well as a fading IOS app development company.My wife has a small house cleaning business, and she takes care of all the household management, as well as just being assigned as power of attorney over her Grandfather's estate.We have zero savings, but are on track to be completely debt free in two years on our current plan.

@Ethan Cooke I'm in SOMA near Moscone Center so it is easy to keep high occupancy the challenge with 30 day minimums is getting departures and arrival to line up right.

Arrival times is another one, but using a programmable front door lock and good house manual can fix that.Do you do airbnb currently?  

You then apply a discount factor, factoring things into it like illiquidity and apply it to the expected future cash flow savings and arrive at the present value.  

The first 75 people to arrive will receive a FREE copy, along with a signature from the author!

I will be receiving a letter explaining why, and to wait for the letter to arrive.
