If everything is in pretty good condition then you could have less.In general, if you put about ten percent of the rent amount into the reserve account you should have enough money to fix and replace things when they need it. 

I will check out Matt's you tube videos.I just hope that Costa Rica continues to be......Costa Rica in my life time.

@James G.i’m about 95 percent sure the short term rental ordinance doesn’t allow campers/air streams/rvs etc to be used as short term rentals.

Scooped up by James at a 6 percent discount, the storied grounds feature one of the most imposing driveway gates in Los Angeles, a long brick drive that passes between rows of mature cypresses, and ends in a vast motor court complete with obligatory stone fountain surrounded by a dozen palm trees.

Appreciate about 5-7 percent annually.
