Eat N Park in Waterworks Plaza 849 Freeport Rd, Fox Chapel (Pittsburgh) PA 15238Game starts at 7pmPeople buying and selling properties are welcome to mention it.

You have to eat those up.

We have finally grown enough to where we could fully financially support ourselves and eat out once or twice a week without any worries.

i already own 5 doors, and I plan on a 4 plex purchase shortly so, I have a nice nest egg of property to grow with, create the coveted passive income.

And recognize that passive investment income means that you make money whether you show up to work or not and does not require you to have to sell a property (slaughter the cow) in order for you to eat.

If I was off by 10%, that would eat $5000 into my profit.

If you are borrowing hard money or private money then the higher priced deals start to eat you up in holding costs.  

I don't want the holding cost to eat up my profits.

I live on my own so living expenses are what really eats up the money.
