One option that some LL’s are able to offer their Tenants is to pay their rent with a Credit Card....and, if you have a credit card, you’ll generally fall into one of two camps...Camp #1 – Have credit cards to receive ‘points’ or ‘cashback’ by using them to pay for most anything from entertainment, to food, to utilities, to most other things...

The house was in our budget if we ended up living there for a long time (which we did).

General miscellaneous expenses (that added up fast).Under/Over budget: Over by $5000 + future cost of crawl space repair (est. $5000) Lessons learned?

I have budgeted fees into the CF numbers just to get a hang of things and get a feel for the tenant and see if its something I would want to take over myself after I get some experience.

RENO budget per constructor $50K after walking through and inspecting the property.

I requested to redeem the funds I had invested over at "Fundrise" back in January 2020 (before the pandemic) for a Capital Expenditure budgeted for March....

My capex budget includes roof 25 year life span, floors 10 year life span, appliances and hot water heaters 12 year life span, hvac 20 year life span, bath and kitchen remodel 20 year life span.

Getting into the mindset of aggressive budgeting/saving with your soon-to-be bride will be a great foundation for saving to invest.

The repair of the flooring will come out of the repair budget but the replacement of the appliance will be out of the capex budget except you will have only a reserve account not 3 separate accounts.

If your budget is $100k do your kitchen and bathrooms and then start saving again.
