You might buy a lottery ticket and win $10,000,000 too. 

BTW, I bought an extra ticket for my wife and she is not able to go this year, so anyone interested just PM me.

I budget to replace all large ticket items that will be less than 25% of their remaining life in the next 5 years ie.

If a big ticket item comes up, I’ll contribute from my personal finances.

I’ve been to Baltimore 5 times and I wouldn’t go back even if someone comped my plane ticket.

I enjoy flipping different items (computers, cameras, shoes, tickets to name a few) and providing drone services as a way to earn some extra income.I have little to no experience in real estate but after digesting many podcasts (how I heard of bigger pockets) and books post-graduation I definitely think it is something I need to learn about to start building wealth long-term.

If you own a recession-proof turn key business in a busy location like a gas station, selling lottery tickets, and junk food,and gas that generates 70K profit, an asking price of over $200K will generate little interest.

I see it now on Facebook people getting all excited about some dumb seminar coming into town touting itself as free tickets.

The roof is a major ticket item that can really hurt the renovation budget. 

There was also a fire in the home less than 3 years ago, so all the major ticket items have been replaced already.
