Tampa is also booming due to the hurricane, but has a higher ticket on properties.

@Scott Schnabel actually, the cities of Hazel Park and Warren require a DL from someone at the PMC and write the tickets in their personal name.

Consider Charles Lindbergh’s 1927 solo flight from New York to Paris.

Choosing a location near LA, accessible by a short flight or drive, will make it easier to check on your projects.

@ali BooneIt’s simple because 100% of people ticket foreclosed on have mortgages.

So I offered to pay for the flight, if they returned a clean and empty house.

I need to buy some airplane tickets.

Your numbers are close and assume no more work is needed than the big ticket items you mentioned. 

@Drew Sygit The verbiage in our management agreement is as follows: make, contract, and/or supervise repairs, alterations, and/or decorations to Property; to purchase supplies and pay billstherefore; Broker agrees to secure the prior approval of Owner for all expenditures estimated to be in excess of $500.00 forany one item, except monthly or recurring operating expenses and/or emergency repairs in excess of the maximum, if inthe opinion of the Broker such repairs are necessary to protect the property from damage or to maintain services to thetenants as called for in their leases; in the event that Owner is unreachable after multiple contact attempts for more thanforty-eight (48) hours to approve a repair in excess of the above amount, Broker shall be considered authorized to makesuch repair.I've been contacted about high ticket items in the past but these "make readys" are done without approval. 

I have a reminder to get her tickets 331 days prior to her trip and get them for dirt cheap on points.
