@Bill Brandt   well try to buy an airline ticket or hotel in Hawaii right now.. prices are double 5 years agoand Hawaii can be a good barometer..  

People can't count on 50 year long careers with pensions anymore and real estate is their (perceived) ticket out of the mess their retirement plans are in.

Kinda like being a cop and writing a ticket - people immediately want to point at others speeding by or committing worse crimes - that is beside the point.

If not, I'm sorry - I can try to find a better way to explain it.CapEx - things like roof repairs, big purchases that will eventually need to happen, so you consider CapEx % taken from monthly rent so you're not shocked when big ticket expenses occur. 

Did you have enough money this month to buy beer cigarettes lotto tickets or convenience store items ?

I'll also make a ticket for the developers to look into why it's not formatting properly.

If you want to . maximize velocity of deals then flipping is the ticket. 

I bought the tickets one month ago, so they weren’t that bad!

Hey Devon, let's do a Detroit deal so I can pay back that $10k  I might have as well set on fire for my Lions season tickets last year

The major killers of condo income is the HOA fees and assessment fees that cover any big ticket items like major roofing repair, major plumbing repair or repainting the building just to name a few.When you really consider all the options, sometimes it’s better to invest OOS in a SFH and have a PM.To your success!
