Good service is not cheap.

I'm going to assume that when you say cheap it means less than $100K or even less than $50K.  

I'd want to extend my runway as long as possible with "cheap money".  

Hey @Mike FergusonFor estimating insurance rates, it differs greatly by region but any good realtor in your region should be able to give you a rough estimate based on price per $100k.The dirtiest roughest formula for just doing simple math (it's not going to change your numbers greatly unless you're buying dirt cheap properties) is the properties value divide by 1000 times 3.5 as a rough estimate.My recommendation would be to use rough estimates for analysis, and confirm when you are serious about a property with an expert like @Jason Bott who operates in many markets.

If you cheap out now, you will regret it later on down the line. 

Owning houses is not cheap.

There's a lot of cheap crap coming over from China.

Spending a few hundred bucks on a flight and a hotel for a weekend is cheap eduction, in my opinion.

over 4 years is 16%, With 12% interest returns increase to 21%  not bad for not being a landlord, and these are the best unlevereged returns I am seeingSelling at a 80% markup:10k trailer for 18 is possible but hard to find those cheap deals. 15k to 27k is more of a typical buying price but getting harder to sell20 to 36 can be bought all day, but don't think many will buy at that price also term length has to be extended for affordablity, decreasing returns.

During the 2008 -2009, cheeseburgers (stocks) were cheap, just like house prices plummeted as well.
