Are people in Chicago simply buying for appreciation or am I missing something?

I carpet bomb to make sure no one gets missed.

You just missed a great BP meetup in Newark, you may look up @Jeffrey Giffin's post and give him your contact info so he can notify you when the next one is scheduled.

There are other things like handrails that your insurance company will ask for even if the fire department misses it.  

Hey there @Ann Willis, @Eric Bilderback, @Bryan Brashear, @Jeff Quintanilla, @Nic Reid, @Tony Griego, @Jeremy Near and all other Bend / Central Oregon interested parties: in case you missed it - @Ian Saingarm put together another meeting for this Sunday April 17th at Broken Top Bottle Shop.  

However, a few expense items are missing or underestimated:Vacancy: I suggest an amount equal to 1 month's rent per year [$1300].Repairs and Maintenance and CapEx: For a $90K house (and without knowing the age of the house or it's major systems), I'd propose more like 1 month's rent to be safe [$1300].Management: Even if you plan to do this yourself, there is going to be a cost in time and money to address late payments, handle repairs, renew leases, etc.

It has no flooring, no appliances, kitchen needs to be done over due to miss-matching cabinets...the list goes on. 

. $67PM 10%Repairs 5%Utilities 5%I'm sure I'm missing a few things.

Also, is there ANYTHING I'm missing in line items on this sheet?  

I miss it sometimes, even the weather.
