Your CoC goes up if you bring less money to the table. 

I had been gathering bits and pieces of information from each podcast but this one finally got me to my kitchen table figuring out how I could do it.  

Many day labors are getting great pay watering taking care of plants used for medicine and recreational use. 

Redirecting the hot water heating lines for that old register under the counter was a logistical nightmare but thanks to Pex it was a twist & fit.

If your submarket doesn't fully support RUBS I still think it's a good idea to consider lowering rents and implementing it because tenants that are forced to think about their water and electricity usage tend to use less of it.

Nowadays we have so many resources available so we can dip our toes in the water first before completely diving into an industry. 

You would still have to come to the table with a down payment, but for owner occupied you can use gift money for down payment — you could play around with the purchase price to make this work if you don’t have any cash.

It is a nice home but had many maintainence isues with it including flooding in the basement, sulfur smell in the water, backyward not trimmed and some other things.

Ryan,It looks like you may be missing water/sewer expense. 

If I might throw on my optimism hat though, once they fully move all of the SEAL teams down to the new Naval Coastal Campus from Coronado, the government's attention to the issue *ought* to be higher than ever considering that these guys are out in the water a lot and when you have a state-of-the-art training facility for our elite forces being influenced by polluted water, this becomes a national security issue.
