The point when you want to tell an inspector to gtfo my property, is the point where you want to go to war and really make your life miserable.I assume your permits/inspections included the pex?

@Samir Shahani your notion is correct - I don't know where there idea came from to correlate repairs and maintenance to rent - if anything they have a somewhat inverse correlation.Repairs and maintenance depend on two things - replacement value of the property and age.A property is a list of systems: plumbing, electrical, windows, roof, driveway etc - and every one has a useful design life span.

This is the paradox of almost every investor based upon where they are in their "investor life". 

It's the oddest city I've ever seen in my life.

Residential rental property has a depreciable life of 27.5 years.

As far as savings goes the only reserves are in the house and in retirement accounts which is minimal at this point in my life.

However, what TRULY fuels my fire is seeing my dad work the night shift for the past 15 years and see how it’s robbed him of his physical and social health!

Roof, hot water heater, AC, furnace and divide each of those by their useful life into a monthly payment.PM fees vary but typically will be 11-13 percent if you include a placement fee annually (you don’t want that by the way).

@Jim K.I still plan on using my life savings for the platinum level McRib coaching package. 

Most of the new businesses were in Louisville’s Okolona and Middletown neighborhoods and involved in what the company describes as health, beauty and home services, Yelp spokeswoman Kathleen Liu wrote in an email."
