It’s an all volunteer club and we’ve been able to keep it free by holding it at a venue that gives us free space if our members pay for food.

Eight years after fast-food workers walked off the job in New York City and began calling for a $15 minimum wage, the passage of the Florida ballot initiative came as a big victory.

With your larger portfolio these may not make sense for you though, but we share as food for thought.

in our Tesla our bladder range is about 200 miles and there are superchargers every 200 miles or less that are usually in areas were you can get food shop etc etc.. 10 to 30 minute stop is all it takes with the Tesla's thats why you see so many of them.

For example many newbies offer to buy coffee or lunch for a sitdown, but maybe offer to bring food for the construction crew and the investor at one of their jobsites, so you help them get on the good side with their crew and also save them time traveling to and from a meeting. 

When it's 5 below zero with windchill factors of -30, we go make sure each rental's pipe wraps are working right and everything is well insulated and do welfare checks to make sure everyone is warm and has food and water.

A silent expectation is that we will order drinks and/or food from the establishment.If everything works out, we can make this a monthly affair.

Anyways comparing to Wichita which is where all my experience lies - Topeka seems to be very transient - lots of people here for short stints - AirBnB was very competitive and I think a few folks were making money there - same thing would be difficult to get it to work in Wichita - quality rentals are far and few between - Our experience looking at the rental market here was from Sept 17 to about July 18 of this year - as we just weren't sure if we'd be able to buy the house we were living in or wanted to buy it etc so we kept looking the entire time for places to buy/rent.Another food for thought is property prices are far higher in Topeka than Wichita and property taxes run about 30-40% if not more than Wichita. 

Yowch.My property is a 1/1 in a quiet building in West Hollywood--a few blocks from Runyon Canyon, Whole Foods, any kind of food you can dream of, Ralph's, etc.

as a General rule and I STOLE this from Chris Clothier but he makes some great point about gross rents.a 600 dollar tenant needs 3x to qualify  that's 1800 a month - 600 ( rent) - 200 utls = no more than 1000 a month to live on.. cutting it pretty close probably has little to no savings and stability could be a challengeNow lets look at a 1200 dollar rent.. 3X  3600 a month - 1200 = 2400 - 200 = 2200 a month  over double the amount of money to live on per month .. gas is the same food is the same .. cell phone is the same so who is more stable.. ????
