Ive always advised my students to start in your name personally if there is a decision between getting started with a marketing budget or setting up an entity.If you have the money to do both then definitely start with the entity.

We end up cutting them half the time.I also like tiled counters if I have money in the budget to do them.

When I look at buying a new property I factor a 10% management fee into the budget; partly in case I do want to pay myself or in case if down the road I put in a property manager.Last year I didn't take any money out of my business.

Do they abandon projects if they go over budget?

In fact, I'm in town this week meeting with contractors and hope this project turns out to be well under budget as there doesn't appear to be any major work needed.

Allowing me to pursue this isn't a problem within a reasonable budget.

Also, what kind of budget have people worked with on their mailing campaigns?

And to your original question, we see that people that don't have a marketing budget of at LEAST $500 per month are going to STRUGGLE in this business and likely fail.

Make sure you budget for maintenance, vacancy and turnover costs.
