Combining how you're traditionally paid as an agent with something more similar to how an attorney is paid really allows for a mutually beneficial arraignment.

You combine investing in real estate with the power of expensing the building with a cost segregation study is magical!

One for each month's dollars you're taking out, and next to it a running total of it.3 - Get an estimate of the cost to replace a roof, a furnace, a driveway, a new kitchen, and anything else you would be using this money for.4 - Look down the second column (the cumulative number) and find out how long it would take to have saved enough in this fund to pay for, let's ay, a roof replacement.5 - Then, think about what would happen if during this waiting period, you had a vacancy, or a different/added cost.6 - Now ask yourself, "is the act of saving this money monthly a functional action, or an illusion"?

This is the combination of my passive real estate income and the returns from my stock (options) trading.

That combined number is "Q"C - (Q/.9) should be greater than or equal to $84,000 ($2,000 more than your offer price to allow you to fix all the small stuff you are sweating)If the number is greater than $84,000 you are getting a deal still.

It is a needed function of my team, but it is a large expense. 

if it is your fault you will have coverage up to the combined limit of your auto insurance and your umbrella. 

Be cautious with enclosing the furnace and water heater, they need plenty of airspace to function properly AND safely.

I'm trying to find out the answer to an arrears question but I can't seem to use the search function within the sub-categories.

It will take a fair amount of effort and time to do this, but it will give you a very clear idea of how the HML side of your business functions and you will get some interesting proposals.
